Addressed record

Trump promised a $5,000 payment to each adult American citizen if Republicans retained both the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms.

“I will get a bill ready so that we can get the Trump Dividend passed immediately after the November 3rd election”

Speaker capacity: U.S. senator from Ohio, making a public legislative commitment

Original X post and reply context

Moreno explicitly supports the proposal and promises to prepare a bill for post-election passage. A promise to prepare legislation is not evidence that a bill had been introduced or enacted.
