Vice President JD Vance will take his turn at trying to pump up the GOP base for the midterm election’s final stretch as Republicans close out their two-day mini-convention, gathering again at a downtown arena after a marathon speech and surprise twist by President Donald Trump on the first day.
Speaking for an hour and 45 minutes in an arena with many empty seats, Trump kicked off the convention Sept. 9 with an extraordinary offer to pay every American adult $5,000 if Republicans maintain control of Congress.
Trump is taking the stage again tonight for closing remarks after Vance delivers the keynote address. The president’s controversial plan to fatten Americans’ wallets if they elect Republicans comes as the party has struggled to blunt Democrats’ momentum and faces a challenging midterm outlook. Trump followed up Wednesday’s offer with an announcement Thursday that his administration would refund $500 million that he said people were overcharged through the Affordable Care Act’s federal exchange for buying health insurance.
