特朗普在达拉斯举行的共和党中期选举大会上发表演讲，承诺如果共和党在11月选举中赢得国会两院控制权，将向每位美国成年人支付5000美元246。他在演讲中敦促支持者："我要求你们假装我在选票上"4，试图将自己与中期选举绑定，尽管他本人不是候选人。
这一承诺涉及约2.7亿美国成年人，总成本超过1.3万亿美元46。特朗普声称这笔支付之所以可能，是"因为我们巨大的经济实力和成功"2，并表示这笔钱必须在美国国内消费，称"我们不希望你去加拿大、中国或德国花钱，你必须在美利坚合众国花钱"6。特朗普还表示，经济缓解"可能需要比中期选举更长的时间"4。
这场为期两天的党代大会于周三在德州达拉斯开幕4，特朗普的演讲长达两小时2。在演讲中，他抨击民主党人是激进共产主义者2。民主党将该承诺标签为"空洞"6，并指责这场大会是对特朗普政策失败的转移注意力1。选举法律专家指出，联邦法律禁止旨在影响投票的付款6，但认为该承诺可能受美国宪法第一修正案言论自由保护6。媒体还指出，特朗普过去的类似现金承诺从未兑现5。
Donald Trump delivered a lengthy speech at the Republican Party's midterm election convention in Dallas, where he made a sweeping financial promise to American voters and called on supporters to treat him as a candidate despite his name not appearing on the November ballot.124 Trump asked attendees to "pretend that I'm on the ballot" in the upcoming elections.14 He promised that if Republicans win control of both chambers of Congress, every American adult will receive a $5,000 "dividend," a commitment he attributed to the nation's "enormous economic strength and success."2346
The scale of Trump's proposal is substantial, affecting approximately 2.7 million American adults and carrying a total cost exceeding $1.3 trillion.46 Trump stipulated that the money must be spent within the United States, stating: "We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money, we don't want you going to China, Germany. You have to spend it in the United States of America."6 When asked about the timeline for economic relief, Trump acknowledged uncertainty, remarking that it would "take a little bit longer than the midterms."4 However, Trump did not provide details on how the payments would be funded.6
The pledge has drawn immediate criticism and legal scrutiny. Democratic opponents dismissed it as an "empty promise" and accused Trump of using such rhetoric to distract from his policy record.1 Legal experts raised questions about the constitutionality of vote-buying schemes, though some election law specialists suggested the statement might be protected under the First Amendment as political speech.6 Additionally, media outlets noted that Trump has made similar cash pledges in the past that were never fulfilled.5 The convention, held Wednesday evening in Dallas, represents the first Republican midterm election convention and underscores Trump's dominant position within the party, even as it signals the absence of a clear successor.4
