President Donald Trump said the United States would face an "economic depression" if Democrats win next month’s midterm elections, while promising that a Republican victory would put $5,000 in each person’s pocket and deliver economic success "like we have never ever seen." Investor Peter Schiff estimated that annual payments to every adult American would add about $1.35 trillion to federal deficits. Trump first made the proposal conditional on Republicans retaining both chambers of Congress, but the administration has not released a formal funding plan. Vice President JD Vance has suggested tariff revenue could help finance the benefit and that wealthy Americans might be excluded. An Economist/YouGov poll found 48% of registered voters supported the payments and 40% opposed them, while only 21% believed Trump would deliver them if Republicans retained control of Congress.
