Trump promises $5,000 payout to U.S. adults if Republicans win election
- During the RNC midterm convention, President Donald Trump promised a $5,000 dividend to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and the United States Senate.

- Sam Stein, managing editor at The Bulwark, characterized the proposal as a "bribe," claiming Trump is "openly bribing people to vote for Republicans."
- Uncertainty remains regarding how the government would monitor the spending of the dividends to enforce the proposed geographic restrictions.
