Trump, hoping to salvage midterms, pledges to give every US adult $5,000 if GOP wins
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported54m ago
President Donald Trump has pledged to send every US adult a $5,000 payment if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. The announcement is described as an extraordinary gambit aimed at reversing the Republican Party's sagging electoral fortunes in November.
Following the announcement, Vice President JD Vance appeared to attempt a partial walk-back of the proposal. Vance suggested that the massive payout—estimated to cost upwards of $1 trillion—could be funded using revenues generated from tariffs.
