  "account": "President Donald Trump has announced a proposed $5,000 federal \"dividend\" for every adult American if Republicans maintain control of both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. The pledge was made at the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, where Trump sought to centralize himself in the campaign despite not being on the ballot. He stated that the payment would be issued to \"every adult citizen in the United States of America\" if Republicans won both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The proposed dividend would cost approximately $1.35 trillion to implement, covering roughly 270 million American adults. Trump emphasized that the funds must be spent within the United States, although the legality and practicalities of the proposal remain unclear. The announcement comes amid a challenging political environment for Republicans, with declining approval ratings and voter dissatisfaction over economic issues and the Iran war.",
