Trump to Republicans at midterms convention: "I am going to try to cheat like hell like they do"
At the GOP midterm convention, President Trump urged Republicans to vote, telling attendees to pretend he was on the ballot and leading them in a pledge where he stated, "I am going to try and cheat like hell like they do." The event, held in Dallas, aimed to galvanize support for Republican candidates in battleground states.
President Trump's rhetoric at the convention could further inflame political tensions and potentially impact voter turnout and perceptions of election integrity in the upcoming midterm elections, especially given his past challenges to election results.
The episode also covers Vice President JD Vance's keynote speech interruption by a protester, a moment of an audience member advocating for political violence during Ted Cruz's speech, the RNC chairman's views on common sense candidates, and Ken Paxton's tight Senate race.
