Former US President Donald Trump renewed his pledge to provide a $5,000 check to every American if Republicans retain control of Congress. This came during a campaign rally in Mobile, Alabama. Trump warned that a Democratic victory would lead to an economic depression similar to the 1929 crisis, while promising unprecedented economic prosperity if Republicans win. Despite Trump's repeated promise, only a few Republican lawmakers supported the idea, and many expressed concerns about the high costs to the national treasury and the potential impact on inflation.
