Trump’s Midterm Gambit and GOP Divide | Anchorage News

Trump electrified the first-ever Republican midterm convention in Dallas, rallying his base with a bold promise: a $5,000 “Trump dividend” for every adult if Republicans retain control of Congress—spend it only in the U.S. He’s doubling down on breaking the historic midterm trend, hitting the road to back dozens of candidates over the next 55 days. While allies cheered, key vulnerable senators like Collins and Sullivan skipped the event, and the crowd booed Senate leader John Thune—though Trump stood by him. Only half of top competitive GOP candidates spoke, with fiery supporters like Texas AG Ken Paxton backing Trump’s vision. Democrats counter with a message of affordability and voter mobilization, painting the GOP event as a costly spectacle while pushing their own agenda on everyday costs.
