President Donald Trump dangled the promise of $5,000 checks to every American adult before the midterm elections, with a key stipulation: Republicans had to win.
And it wasn’t the only such promise he made, all tied to Republican wins and several in states critical to Senate control. During his extensive October rally tour, he vowed to: settle water contamination lawsuits in North Carolina, invest in a drug manufacturing facility in Kentucky, make a fuel commonly used by farmers more readily available in Kansas and Iowa and to continue federal help in Alaska.
