Trump Doubles Down on $5,000 Checks as Lawmakers Weigh Proposal - 41NBC News
Trump said the plan could be paid for if Republicans keep Congress, while House Speaker Mike Johnson said approval would still be required.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump promised to send $5,000 to every U.S. adult if the Republican Party retains control of Congress in the 2026 elections, saying the United States can easily afford the payments.
- Trump unveiled the $5,000 payout plan at the Republican Party convention in Dallas last week, framing it as a way to support "hardworking Americans" through increased federal revenue.
- Critics and some Republicans have questioned the proposal's feasibility, noting a price tag exceeding $1 trillion. "Any such payment would need to be approved," House Speaker Mike Johnson said.
- Democratic politicians panned the proposal on Sunday morning talk shows, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling it not a "serious proposal" on ABC's This Week.
- Speaker Johnson indicated Congress would "work through" the proposal amid concerns about the $4 trillion national debt, though he stopped short of fully committing to Trump's plan.
