US President Donald Trump has promised $5,000 (approximately £3,700) to every American citizen if Republican candidates secure victory in the upcoming November midterm elections.
The president provided no specifics regarding implementation mechanisms or funding sources for the proposed financial distribution.
Democratic opponents have dismissed the commitment as an “empty promise,” while legal experts have raised questions about the proposal’s compliance with electoral law.
BBC North America editor Sarah Smith examines whether Trump’s pledge—projected to cost the US government roughly $1.3 trillion—holds legal merit.
