Trump leads convention in pledge: 'You go to h---' if you don’t vote

President Trump addressed a Republican midterm convention in Dallas, urging attendees to pledge to vote in November's midterm elections. He asked supporters to raise their right hands and make a pledge, which was met with laughter.

The event was part of a multi-day convention, with other speakers including Donald Trump Jr, who took the stage on day two.

According to Malay Mail, Trump also made a pledge to offer US$5,000 to every American adult if Republicans retain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections. However, the legality and feasibility of this promise have raised questions.
