Trump, hoping to salvage midterms, makes dubious pledge to give every US adult $5,000 if GOP wins

President Donald Trump pledged on Wednesday to send $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. This extraordinary gambit is intended to help salvage the midterms for the GOP. The proposal suggests a direct financial incentive for citizens contingent upon the Republican Party maintaining its legislative majority in both chambers of Congress, marking a significant and unusual campaign promise during the current election cycle.
