Trump vows $5,000 payments to adults at Kentucky rally

President Donald Trump used a rally in Highland Heights, Kentucky, to promote Republican candidates ahead of the November midterms and portray his second term as more powerful than his first. He highlighted his authority and repeated a promise to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win control of Congress, a proposal that could cost more than $1 trillion. The campaign message comes amid voter frustration over rising costs linked to tariffs and the Iran war, while Republicans privately worry Trump could hurt their candidates. Trump is also scheduled to hold a rally in Michigan’s St. Clair County on Oct. 25, about 10 days before the election.
