Ahead of the midterm elections: Trump on Midterms: one of the most important elections in the US
At their party convention in Texas, Republicans are gearing up for the midterm elections in November. According to President Trump, it's about more than just gaining a majority in Congress.
Dallas, Texas - In the lead-up to the upcoming mid-term elections in less than two months, US President Donald Trump has described them as "one of the most important elections in the history" of the United States. If Americans were to entrust the future of their country to the "radically left Democrats," it would set the nation back for the next decade, warned Trump during a Republican party rally in Dallas, Texas.
"That would be a tragedy," he continued. Trump, known for his penchant for superlatives and having previously called elections the most important in US history, urgently urged his countrymen to vote for the Republicans. In the so-called mid-term elections on November 3rd, approximately one-third of the Senate seats and the entire House of Representatives will be up for grabs.
Traditionally, the party of the president tends to lose seats during this event. Trump mentioned this in his speech and vowed to fight back: "We will change that." In his speech, he also repeated the false claim that he had been cheated out of the 2020 presidential election victory by Joe Biden.
