Donald Trump promised to give 5,000 dollars, approximately 4,300 euros, to each North American adult if the Republican Party conquers the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections held on November 3. The promise was made by Trump himself during the electoral campaign for the midterm elections.
The proposed measure would benefit all North American adults, regardless of their economic situation or political affiliation. The amount of 5,000 dollars would represent a direct payment to each adult citizen of the country.
The midterm elections of November 3 would determine the composition of the U.S. Congress for the following two years. The result of these elections would significantly influence the Republican Party's ability to advance its legislative agenda.
Trump's promise comes in a context of intense competition between Democrats and Republicans in the weeks leading up to the vote. The proposed direct payment would be a measure of great financial impact for millions of North American families.
