Trump pushes his $5,000 'dividend' pledge if GOP wins midterms. Republican candidates, not as much
Former President Trump proposed giving $5,000 payments to every American adult if Republicans win control of Congress in the midterm elections. Republican lawmakers have pushed back against the idea, saying they won't support payments to people who don't work or pay taxes. Trump has continued promoting the pledge despite this opposition, including at campaign events in battleground states.
