Story summary

During a speech at the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention on September 10, 2026, US President Donald Trump promised to pay every adult American citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. This proposal would cost approximately $1.3 trillion, given that there are nearly 270 million adults in the United States. Trump did not specify how this plan would be funded or implemented but suggested it could be paid out using revenue from US tariffs and other economic gains. Democrats have labeled the offer an "empty promise" and questioned its feasibility, while some legal experts wonder if such a pledge is even constitutional.
