President Donald Trump delivered a direct message to voters and supporters Wednesday night at the Republican Midterm Convention, urging them to support his administration’s agenda in the November elections by voting Republicans down the ballot.
“I’m asking you to let us finish the job on what has been the greatest two years in presidential history,” Trump told the crowd.
President Trump used the address to highlight what he described as the accomplishments of his first two years back in office and argued that Republicans need additional time to continue implementing his agenda. His remarks came as Republicans prepare for the November 3 midterm elections, when all 435 seats in the House and 35 seats in the Senate will be contested.
The Dallas gathering is the first national Republican convention specifically organized around a midterm election. Trump announced the event earlier this year as an opportunity for Republican candidates, lawmakers and party activists to rally around the administration’s agenda ahead of Election Day.
Trump’s appearance placed him at the center of the Republican effort to maintain congressional support for his administration. Republicans are using the convention to promote their candidates and policies while emphasizing the importance of the midterm elections.
President Trump has repeatedly urged Republicans to treat the midterms as a continuation of his 2024 election victory. "I'm asking you to pretend on I'm the ballot," Trump said in his Wednesday’s remarks. He framed the election as a decision over whether his administration will have the congressional support needed to continue pursuing its priorities.
The convention has featured appearances from Republican candidates and officials, along with an unexpected video appearance by Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman, who praised Trump and Republican Sen. Dave McCormick for their support of the steel industry.
With Election Day approaching, Trump’s speech underscored his role in the Republican campaign effort and his call for voters to give the party another term of congressional control to continue advancing the administration’s agenda in his last two years in the Oval Office.
