Hallie Jackson NOW - Sept. 10 | NBC News NOW
Former President Trump's proposal to issue $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the midterm elections has drawn criticism regarding its funding and feasibility. Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have labeled the plan a "bribe," while economic advisors like Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have suggested various non-tax revenue sources, including a "Trump Platinum Card," none of which appear to fully cover the estimated $1 trillion cost.
The proposal, aimed at galvanizing Republican voters, faces significant questions about its fiscal viability and could impact the narrative and voter sentiment heading into the critical midterm elections.
The episode also covers an emergency landing of a Delta flight, widespread heat alerts across the U.S., and Senator John Fetterman's surprise video appearance at a GOP event.
