距离选举日不足一个月,唐纳德·特朗普总统正在大力宣传两项已启动的联邦现金支付计划,同时重申了一项规模更大的5000美元支票承诺,该承诺以共和党在国会中保持多数席位为前提。
With Election Day less than a month away, President Donald Trump is touting two federal cash-payment programs already underway while renewing a much larger $5,000 check promise contingent on Republicans retaining Congress.
周五,特朗普宣布向2080万名医疗保险受益人发放一次性90美元补贴。次日,他重新提出此前向每位美国成年公民发放5000美元的承诺,但前提是共和党在11月的大选中保住国会控制权。
On Friday, Trump announced one-time $90 payments to 20.8 million Medicare beneficiaries. A day later, he revived an earlier promise to give every adult U.S. citizen $5,000— but only if Republicans retain control of Congress in November.
特朗普周六在“真实社交”(Truth Social)上发布的视频中表示:“如果共和党在2026年中期选举中赢得众议院和参议院的控制权,我将向美国所有成年公民发放5000美元。”上个月,总统在共和党全国委员会于达拉斯举行的首次中期选举大会上也曾作出类似承诺。特朗普尚未提供关于谁将批准这些支付以及资金来源的任何细节。
"If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I'm going to give all Adult Citizens in the United States of America, $5,000," Trump said in a Truth Social video post Saturday. The president made a similar pledge at the Republican National Committee's first midterm convention in Dallas last month. Trump hasn't provided any details on who would authorize the payments and where the money would come from.
这些声明紧随上周开始向约95万名通过联邦市场购买无补贴保险的人发放的500美元“奥巴马医改”退款支票之后。
Those claims came on the heels of $500 Obamacare "refund" checks that began going out last week to roughly 950,000 people who bought unsubsidized coverage through the federal marketplace.
向符合条件的特定医疗保险B部分参保人发放的90美元补贴预计将于本月到账,资金来源于医疗保险改进基金。500美元的奥巴马医改补贴已开始向特定全价购买HealthCare.gov保险的客户发放。
The $90 payments to certain eligible Medicare Part B enrollees are scheduled to arrive this month, funded through the Medicare Improvement Fund. The $500 Obamacare payments are already being distributed to certain full-price HealthCare.gov customers.
路透社的分析发现,71%的奥巴马医改资金——即3.39亿美元——将流向13个州的居民,这些州拥有全国竞争最激烈的参议院和州长选举,尽管资格认定基于保险状态而非投票状态。
Reuters analysis found 71% of the Obamacare money — $339 million — is going to residents of 13 states with some of the country's most competitive Senate and gubernatorial races, though eligibility is based on insurance status, not voting status.
与此同时,共和党人正进入中期选举的最后冲刺阶段,而物价和经济问题已成为竞选焦点。然而,这项5000美元的“特朗普红利”仍只是一纸承诺,特朗普也极少透露具体细节,尤其是这笔资金将来自何处,以及需要谁批准发放。向每位成年公民发放5000美元,将耗费约1.2万亿美元,并且需要国会批准。一些共和党人也对这一计划可能带来的赤字和通胀影响表示担忧。
Together, the flurry of offers of direct cash payments comes as Republicans head into the final stretch of a midterm campaign dominated by concerns about prices and the economy But the $5,000 "Trump dividend" remains just a promise and Trump has been extremely light on details, particularly on where the money would come from and who would need to authorize it. Sending $5,000 to every adult citizen would cost roughly $1.2 trillion and require congressional approval. Some Republicans have also raised concerns about its effect on the deficit and inflation.
亚利桑那州共和党众议员戴维·施韦克特上个月表示,他将“倾尽所有心血”阻止这项提案,并警告称这可能导致利率上升。马里兰州民主党众议员杰米·拉斯金则在9月10日的一次采访中将该计划称为“政治贿赂”,并指出联邦支出由国会掌控。
Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., told last month he would "throw everything of my heart and soul" into stopping the proposal, warning it could push interest rates higher. And Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., called the plan a "political bribe" in a Sept. 10 interview with and said Congress controls federal spending.
白宫以及亚利桑那州共和党众议员戴维·施韦克特和马里兰州民主党众议员杰米·拉斯金的办公室均未立即回应置评请求。
The White House and offices of Reps. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., and Jamie Raskin, D-Md., did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

拉斯穆森报告的一项调查显示,潜在选民对该提案的态度基本平分秋色,支持率为47%,反对率为48%。仅有15%的人表示这会影响他们的投票选择。威斯康星州马奎特法学院的一项民调显示,70%的受访者反对发放这笔款项;而《经济学人》与YouGov的联合调查则发现,57%的民主党选民怀疑,即使共和党保住国会多数席位,特朗普也不会真正兑现这一承诺。
A Rasmussen Reports survey found likely voters essentially split, 47% to 48%, on the proposal. Just 15% said it would affect their vote. A Marquette Law School poll in Wisconsin found 70% opposed the payments, while an Economist/YouGov found 57% ofed voters doubted Trump would actually deliver them even if Republicans retained Congress.
过去,特朗普曾多次承诺向美国民众发放现金补贴,但最终都未能兑现。
In the past, Trump has made several promises to send cash payments to Americans — and didn't deliver.
2025年2月,特朗普政府提出发放5000美元的“DOGE红利”支票,声称资金将来自现已解散、由埃隆·马斯克领导的“政府效率部”实施的削减开支所节省的资金。这些款项从未兑现。
In February 2025, the Trump administration floated a $5,000 "DOGE dividend" check, claiming the money would come from savings from the cuts enacted by the now-defunct, Elon Musk led "Department of Government Efficiency." Those payments never materialized.
随后在11月,特朗普提议发放由对等关税资助的红利,每人至少2000美元。最高法院于今年2月裁定这些关税无效,支票从未发出。
Then, in November, Trump proposed a reciprocal tariff funded dividend payment of at least $2,000 per person The Supreme Court struck down the tariffs in February of this year, and no checks were ever issued.
直接向选民提供现金支付的模式可以追溯到特朗普的第一个任期。2020年大选前六周,特朗普承诺向3300万医疗保险受益人发放200美元的处方药卡,“将在未来几周内”发放——但这些卡片从未发出。尽管如此,特朗普政府去年还是向约150万现役军人发放了1776美元的“战士红利”,国会也在其第一个任期内批准了疫情刺激支付。
The pattern of offering cash payments directly to voters stretches back to Trump's first term. Six weeks before the 2020 election, Trump promised 33 million Medicare beneficiaries $200 prescription-drug cards "in coming weeks" — but the cards never went out Still, the Trump administration delivered a $1,776 " Warrior Dividend " to roughly 1.5 million service members last year, and Congress approved pandemic stimulus payments during his first term.
