The rally is the Republicans' first ever midterm election. In the opening of his speech, Trump refers to statistics showing that the incumbent party often loses seats in Congress in midterm elections.
We have to change that, says the president.
If the Republicans lose the election, it will be devastating for Americans, with tax increases and reduced safety and security, Trump claims.
You will go through hell, just like two years ago.
But if the Republicans win both chambers in the congressional elections, all "adult Americans" will receive $5,000, equivalent to just under 48,000 kronor, the president promises.
If the Republicans win, you win with us, he says, likening it to an investor dividend from a successful company.
It is still unclear how such a payment would work in practice, and where the money would come from. However, the money must be spent within the United States, according to Trump.
The president also presented several new - and controversial - geographical name proposals. According to Trump, the state of New Mexico should be renamed New America - and the disputed Strait of Hormuz should be renamed Trump Strait.
