President Trump announced a new plan on Wednesday to provide $5,000 dividend checks to every adult in the United States, but he has tied the proposal directly to the outcome of the upcoming midterm elections, as reported by The Hill. The president stated that these payments will only move forward if Republicans maintain control of Congress.
He shared this update while speaking at the Republican National Committee midterm convention in Dallas, claiming that his administration is able to disburse the funds because the country “is making so much money.”
