Trump says $5K dividend checks to Americans will 'happen 100 percent'
President Trump promised to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans kept control of Congress in the midterm elections. Trump has said this will "happen 100 percent," though he clarified the checks would not be sent while the GOP controls Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the plan would need congressional approval. The White House is currently exploring ways to fund and implement the proposal through discussions with lawmakers.
