Major Republican donor balks at Trump’s $5,000 ‘bread and circus bribe’ at midterm convention
Trump also acknowledged during his lengthy primetime speech that "midterms are not supposed to be won by the sitting president."
A prominent Republican donor has expressed opposition to President Donald Trump's proposal of a $5,000 "bread and circus bribe" to American adults, if his party secures victory in the midterm elections. Joe Londsdale, who supports many of Trump's policies, stated his strong disapproval of such a strategy, deeming it a "bread and circus bribe."
This criticism comes as Republicans gather for their midterm convention in Dallas, seeking to rally voters and protect their House and Senate majorities. Despite acknowledging historical setbacks for the sitting president in midterms, Trump continues to promise an unprecedented event, urging voters to treat the election as casting their ballots for him.
