00:00President Donald Trump is promising a $5,000 payment to American adults if Republicans keep control of both the House
00:06and Senate in November, calling it the Trump dividend.
00:09The proposal could cost more than $1 trillion and would require congressional approval, raising questions about how it would even
00:16be funded.
00:17Vice President J.D. Vance suggested the payments could be targeted toward lower- and middle-income Americans and funded
00:23with tariff revenue,
00:25but current tariff collections fall far short of the potential price tag.
00:29The unusual pledge comes as Republicans face a tough fight to hold Congress, putting a very literal price tag on
00:36Trump's midterm pitch.
