‘I’m on the Ticket’: Trump Implores Republicans to Vote in November
PUBLISHED Sep 11, 2026, 1:06 AM ET
President Donald Trump addressed the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, urging supporters to turn out in large numbers for the November 3 congressional elections. Speaking at the American Airlines Center, Trump implored voters to treat the midterm cycle as though he were personally on the ballot, aiming to protect the narrow Republican majorities in the House and Senate. During his remarks, Trump reiterated a proposal to distribute a five-thousand-dollar dividend to every adult citizen if the party maintains control of Congress, a pledge that has drawn intense scrutiny and financial questions from budget experts. The two-day convention featured speeches from administration officials and party leaders focused on mobilizing grassroots voters despite national headwinds concerning the cost of living and foreign policy. Meanwhile, several Republican candidates in competitive swing districts chose to distance themselves from the event to appeal to independent voters.
