What happened, for context

On 10 September 2026, US President Donald Trump pledged at the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in November's midterm elections. The proposal, which Trump called the "Trump Dividend," would cost more than $1 trillion. Vice President JD Vance appeared to suggest the payments could be funded by tariff revenues, though details on implementation and legality remained unclear.
