Vance appears to walk back Trump’s offer of $5,000 ‘dividend’ if Republicans win midterms – US politics live

Donald Trump pledged to pay every adult US citizen $5,000 if Republicans retain the House and Senate in the midterm elections. This proposal, estimated to cost over $1tn, was announced during a speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, raising significant ethical concerns. However, JD Vance later appeared to partially walk back these claims, suggesting the payments would not apply to everyone and would be funded through tariff revenues despite existing supreme court rulings.
