President Donald Trump has made a promise to pay $5,000 to each adult American if Republicans maintain their majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November midterm elections. This offer is part of his effort to keep his party in power. Trump compared this payment to dividends paid to shareholders by companies and to the additional $1,776 checks his administration gave to military members last year.

Further details about this promise, including how it would be funded, are not provided. The president's announcement is available for more information.
