Trump promises: Every adult American will receive a $5,000 "Trump dividend" if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress
U.S. President Donald Trump pledged that if the Republican Party maintains control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives after the midterm elections, he will issue $5,000 to every adult American.
"I make this promise: If the Republican Party wins both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate—winning both chambers—we will, thanks to our economic achievements, issue a $5,000 dividend to every adult American citizen," he said in a speech on the evening of September 9 at the Republican National Convention held in Dallas. The convention took place just ahead of the November U.S. congressional midterm elections.
According to Trump, Americans "must spend this money within the United States." He also noted, "This will be known as the Trump Dividend."
The U.S. congressional midterm elections are scheduled for November 3. On that day, 33 of the 100 Senate seats and all 435 House of Representatives seats will be up for election. Currently, the Republican Party controls both chambers of Congress.
