Donald Trump thinks he has found the magic ingredient that will help the Republicans win the midterm elections. And surprise, surprise, it's him. So I'm asking you.
To pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. Ah, manga.
Just one more time. We're in Dallas, where Donald Trump is uh throwing an event, a very unusual Republican Party convention that is going to put him front and centre of his party's midterm election campaign. He's even promising voters a large cash handout if his party can win both houses of Congress in the midterm elections. But Some of his most high profile candidates are staying away. They don't want to be seen with Donald Trump at this event in Texas. Is that because they think the president's no longer a great electoral asset? Has he actually become a voting liability? Welcome to Americast. Americast.
Americast from BBC News.
Whatever you want to talk about, Abdul, keep my wife's name the hell out of your mouth because she's way out of your league.
The tide is coming. And this time we intend to win it all.
So he doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
When I'm not around, you're gonna be broke. There's not gonna be anybody to report on. Nobody gives a damn about anybody else.
Hello, it's Justin in the worldwide headquarters of Americast in London, England.
And it's Sarah here at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas.
Woohoo, Dallas, Texas. Tell us about it.
It's great fun. It's really terribly hot. It's over a hundred degrees. Um the best news is that I have already managed to acquire a new cowboy hat. So I'll show you here, Justin. It's uh it's a very nice white hat with some um turquoise and cowrie shell trim. We were interviewing a lady yesterday who's a big Trump supporter who also has a stall at the RNC where she sells these hats and people can design custom decorations on them. Uh and she was a fascinating interview actually. I'll tell you more about her later. A a Trump fan who's a bit worried that he might not be the uh the the best advocate for their party come the midterm elections.
Yeah, and I suppose that is the serious side of this, isn't it? It's whether the whole thing I mean, number one, it's very unusual, um, but number two is is w whether there's any chance at all that it can work.
Yeah, and there's a real disconnect um when you're here between what's happening with this convention um and what we know is happening in the rest of the country.
What is Donald Trump's $5,000 cash‑handout promise and why did he unveil it at the midterm convention?
And this is one of the things that's really fascinating because Donald Trump threw this party for himself, essentially. It was his idea to have a convention in a midterm year, which is never been done by the Republicans before. And it's a big showcase for Donald Trump, with him giving the keynote speech for almost two hours on Wednesday night. He's closing it out with a speech again on Thursday night. And everybody in the convention is a very, very big Donald Trump fan. You wouldn't have come all the way here, paid all the money you have to to attend unless you were an absolute diehard Donald Trump supporter.
