Trump Repeats $5,000 Pledge if Republicans Win Midterms

President Donald Trump renewed a conditional $5,000 payment pledge in a video released this week, tying the proposal to Republicans winning both chambers in the Nov. 3 midterm elections. In the video, Trump said, “I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000.” At an Oct. 10 rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, he said tariff revenue would fund the payments and pointed to new factories and investments as sources of revenue and economic growth. A prior estimate of the proposal’s total cost put it at about $1.35 trillion if paid to 269.8 million U.S. adults.
