Trump promises $5,000 to every US adult if Republicans win midterm elections

US President Donald Trump told a Republican rally in Dallas on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 (18 Shahrivar 1405) that if the Republican Party keeps control of the US House of Representatives and Senate in the November 3 midterm elections, he will pay every adult US citizen 5,000 dollars as a dividend, on condition the money is spent inside the United States. According to ISNA, citing Reuters, Trump attributed the promised payment to what he called his administration's economic power and success, and gave no further details of the plan. Al Jazeera reported the pledge came as, according to analysts, Republicans face the risk of losing their House majority to Democrats, a trend experts partly attribute to declining approval for the Trump administration following the war with Iran and rising prices in the United States.
