  "summary": "President Donald Trump promised to give every adult American citizen a $5,000 \"dividend\" if Republicans retain control of Congress in the midterms. He made the statement at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, saying \"If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump dividend.\"\n\nAccording to the Malay Mail, Trump did not specify where the money would come from, but mentioned that \"our country is making so much money.\" The Reuters Business via SCMP reported that Trump added the caveat that the dividend \"must be spent in the United States of America.\"\n\nThe midterms are expected to be challenging for Republicans, with many analysts predicting losses due to voter frustrations with high prices, as reported by MarketWatch. Opinion polls also show Trump's approval ratings are in the low 30s. Trump urged his supporters to \"pretend that I'm on the ballot\" and expressed confidence in Republicans' chances, despite polls indicating a likely Democratic win in both the House and Senate.",
