Trump Intensifies Electioneering As Midterms Approach, Makes More Financial Promises To Individual Americans.
What happened
President Trump has promised to give all adult citizens $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate. He has also promised to send one-time payments of nearly $100 to over 20 million seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums. The president has urged voters to "swamp" the Democrats with massive turnout in the election.
Why it matters
The president's promises may impact voter enthusiasm and decision-making in the midterms. The financial promises are reportedly based on tariff revenue and increases in visa fees, but the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has warned that they could cost upwards of $1 trillion and increase the projected primary deficit.
