Donald Trump encourages MAGA crowd to vote at Republican midterm convention
Donald Trump led the crowd in a light-hearted Pledge of Allegiance
Donald Trump just encouraged his audience in order to secure votes ahead of the upcoming midterms.
During the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Trump, led the audience in a mock version of the Pledge of Allegiance and instructed them to vow that they will vote on November 3, multiple outlets including NBC News and The Wall Street Journal reported.
Speaking on stage, Trump raised his right hand as he encouraged the MAGA crowd to repeat after him.
“Please raise your right hand,” said Trump, “I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can’t even breathe.”
“That I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it anyway,” he continued. “I don’t care if I am registered or not, I am going to cheat like hell like they do. There have never been bigger cheaters,” he added in a nod to unfounded claims of Democrat voting irregularities.
“I’m going to go out and get my friends, my family and we are going to vote on Nov. 3, or we are going to vote before that,” Trump further stated.
Moments later, the crowd booed when Trump suggested they also have the freedom to vote Democrat.
“So, we swear that on November 3rd we are going to go out and vote. And you know what? If you want, you can vote Democrat, but I don’t think there’s one person in this room that’s going to vote [for them],” he said.
The crowd started cheering again and held up flags as Trump went on to mention God in his pledge.
“You know what happens if you don’t vote? You go to hell, you know that? Okay? You go to hell, and I don’t want that to happen to you, so please go and vote,” he concluded.
Donald Trump’s speech on day two of the convention came after Vice President JD Vance gave a 40-minute address looking toward the future and paying tribute to the late Charlie Kirk.
