Trump, Vance to close out Republican convention Thursday night : NPR

Key Points:

• At the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, President Trump pledged to send every American adult a $5,000 "Trump dividend" if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in the November midterms, a proposal estimated to cost over $1 trillion and raising legal questions about influencing votes.
• Trump acknowledged the party faces challenges in the midterms, urging Republicans to vote as if he were on the ballot and promising to campaign in key districts, while delivering a nearly two-hour rally-style speech attacking Democrats and defending various policies.
• The two-night convention, the first-ever Republican midterm convention, featured Republican lawmakers, candidates, and supporters praising Trump and positioning the party against socialism and communism, with many candidates delivering stump speeches.
• Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican Senate candidate facing a tough race amid scandal and fundraising issues, received Trump's endorsement and support from Trump's Super PAC, MAGA Inc., which committed $10 million to his campaign.
• The convention's final night will include a tribute to the late activist Charlie Kirk, a 9/11 observance, and appearances by MAGA figures such as Donald Trump Jr., former Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with Vice President Vance also scheduled to speak.
