President Donald Trump has promised to issue a $5,000 payment to every adult US citizen if Republicans retain control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections. Trump made the pledge during a Republican convention in Dallas, framing the payments as a “Trump dividend” made possible by the nation’s economic success. The Straits Times reported the amount as $6,300 in Singapore dollars.
The proposal includes a stipulation that the dividend funds must be spent within the United States. The Washington Examiner noted the promise came during Trump’s keynote address closing out the first night of the Republican midterm convention.
While Bloomberg and the Washington Examiner reported the election as the November midterms, the Straits Times and the Washington Examiner both specified the 2026 midterm elections. The discrepancy in timing is not further explained in the available sources.
