Trump closes Dallas GOP convention with $5,000 pledge, 'cheat like hell' joke
–
Neutral summary
Donald Trump wrapped up the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas, an event supporters dubbed “Trump-a-palooza,” with a pledge to pay $5,000 to every American adult if the GOP keeps control of Congress in November. He also told the crowd they would “go to hell” if they did not vote and jokingly urged them to “cheat like hell” the way Democrats do. The $5,000 promise drew criticism even from some Republicans, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who called it “more debt and more inflation.”
