Trump's $5,000 check promise faces supporter skepticism ahead of midterms

This proposal, aimed at boosting Republican turnout in the upcoming midterm elections, has been met with doubt from voters who view it as an unrealistic campaign tactic. While some staunch supporters believe Trump will fulfill his promise, others, including former Republican officials, see it as an "over-the-top promise" unlikely to be kept, especially given past unfulfilled economic pledges.
