U.S. President Donald Trump assured that every American adult will receive a $5,000 payment if Republicans manage to maintain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November midterm elections. This promise was made during the Republican Convention in Dallas, Texas, in a lengthy speech that lasted nearly two hours.

Trump encouraged his supporters to imagine him on the ballot and urged them to vote for Republican candidates. He stated that he needs their support to 'finish the job' and emphasized the importance of his candidacy, even if he does not run directly in the November elections.

According to media reports, the promised payment is described by Trump as a 'dividend' to be distributed to citizens. However, the president did not provide details on how this distribution would be implemented, raising questions about the feasibility of the plan.

The statement comes at a time when opinion polls suggest that Republicans are not in a strong position for the elections. Nevertheless, Trump continues to rally his voters, insisting that his presence on the ballot is crucial for the party's success.

Trump has made similar promises in the past, which have not come to fruition, leading to doubts about the realization of his new payment proposal. In his speeches, he has made it clear that if his administration is not re-elected, the country could face significant setbacks.

International media, including El Mundo and g1, reported the promise as part of Trump's strategy to galvanize his support, as he positions himself as a central figure in the Republican campaign. The promise of a high payment could serve as an incentive for voters who are hesitant to support the party in the upcoming elections.
