President Donald Trump delivered his keynote speech at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, framing the midterms as a referendum on his presidency. He warned of potential losses in border security, tax cuts, and safety if Democrats win control of Congress. Trump linked Republican control of Congress to his administration's achievements, implying that Democrats would obstruct these gains.

He advocated for stricter voter identification requirements and proof of citizenship to register, accusing Democrats of attempting to "cheat." Trump reiterated his claim of a 25 million illegal immigrant influx under the Biden administration. He promised to issue a $5,000 dividend to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans secure both the House and Senate.

Trump proposed renaming the Strait of Hormuz as the "Trump Strait," mirroring previous attempts to rename other geographical locations.

Trump predicted the Iran war would conclude shortly after the election, though he did not elaborate on this assertion.

He called on Americans to grant Republicans another opportunity to control Congress, asserting that their administration had already enacted significant changes.
