Democrats: Trump's pledge to give every American adult $5k if GOP wins is a "stunt"
Democrats have labeled Donald Trump's pledge to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win the midterm elections a "stunt" and an attempt to bribe voters. They argue Trump has a history of promising payments, like dividend checks on tariffs, that never materialized, and that this new promise would cost approximately $1.3 trillion and balloon the national debt. Some Republicans, including Senator Susan Collins, have also expressed skepticism about the plan's cost and its linkage to election results.
The proposal's feasibility and economic impact are central to the upcoming election, with Democrats seeking to discredit the plan and Republicans divided on its merits.
