Five thousand dollar war dominates US elections

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 01:30

Donald Trump guarantees that he will give five thousand dollars to each US voter if the Republicans win the midterm elections. This promise dominates the current electoral race in the United States. The measure, dubbed the "five thousand dollar war," has been the central theme of the Republican campaign. Trump made this declaration during a rally, presenting it as one of the main arguments to convince voters to vote for the candidates of the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections.

Why this matters

This promise by Trump is significant because it represents an unprecedented electoral promise that could have a massive impact on US public finances. For international readers, especially Brazilians, this is relevant because the policies and outcomes of US elections affect the global economy, including Brazil, through financial markets, exchange rates, and trade relations.
