“The President is offering $5,000 to each adult. This is not for fun. People need this money for food and gas. The President is just trying to buy votes. I want Congress to reject his promise. We need real ways to make things cheaper for Americans.”

“President Trump promised to send $5,000 to every American adult if his party stays in power. People in my state need help with high food and gas prices, but this promise is just an attempt to buy votes. Congress should speak out against this and work on real ways to lower costs.”

“Mr. Speaker, President Trump announced that he promises to send $5,000 to every American adult if his party is kept in power after the midterm elections. At home in New York, I have been asked by constituents about these checks, not because they want to use it for vacation that they may have been wanting to take or to buy a new car. Rather, they are trying to put food on the table in the face of rising grocery prices and gas in their tanks as fuel prices soar. Instead of finding ways to practically help Americans afford their basic expenses, the President would rather try to bribe voters to keep power. I implore my colleagues to come together to condemn a false promise from the President and work to find real solutions to help lower costs for Americans.”
