Trump’s $5,000 Election Promise LIVE: ‘You’ll Have $5,000’ If Republicans Win | US Midterm 2026-N18G

US President Donald Trump has repeated his pledge to pay $5,000 to every adult American citizen if Republicans win control of both chambers of Congress in the November 2026 midterm elections. In a video ad posted on his social media accounts, he said Democrats would block the proposal and warned of higher taxes and an economic depression if they won. The payment, called the "Trump Dividend," was first announced at the Republican midterm convention in September. The White House has described it as funded by tariff revenues, but the proposal raises questions about cost and implementation. FactCheck.org estimated the pledge at around $1.2 trillion, and PolitiFact reported that no formal payment plan has been announced and that congressional approval would be required.
