Read Pledge Trump Made RNC Convention Attendees Take
Trump led convention attendees in a pledge to vote in the November midterm elections during his headline speech Thursday.
At the Republican National Convention in Dallas, President Donald Trump urged attendees to take a pledge during his keynote speech on Thursday. Trump told the crowd, "I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell like they do." After taking his oath, Trump asked the attendees to raise their right hands and repeat the pledge with him.
The pledge stated, "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, Trump said. I'll do it any way—I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell like they do." Trump then instructed the attendees to pledge that they would encourage their friends and family to vote on November 3 or cast their ballots before Election Day.
Trump emphasized that if people wanted to vote for the Democratic candidate, he didn't think there was one person in the room who would vote for them. He urged the crowd to go out and vote, warning them that failing to vote would result in them going to hell. Trump framed the midterm elections as a battle against the Democrats, asserting that they were communists who sought to destroy the country.
