Trump pushes his $5,000 'dividend' pledge. Republican candidates, not as much
ABC News - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump promised a $5,000 payment to Americans if Republicans win the midterm elections, but few GOP candidates in competitive races have adopted this pledge in their campaigns.
- The Republican National Committee supports the proposal as part of Trump's economic agenda, though most candidates avoid discussing it unless directly asked.
- The $5,000 payout idea faces skepticism due to its potentially $1 trillion cost and previous unfulfilled promises by Trump regarding similar payments.
- Democrats criticize the pledge as a recycled broken promise, while Republican campaign efforts focus more on tax-related legislation and local issues rather than the payout.
- Some Republican strategists dismiss the proposal as unrealistic and inflationary, contributing to candidates' reluctance to embrace it publicly.
