[‘“特朗普分红”承诺在国会山遭遇冷遇’]

特朗普总统关于共和党赢得中期选举后将向美国人发放大额补贴的承诺，在国会山遭遇了冷遇。
多名共和党人明确反对这项5000美元支票承诺，另有一些人在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时默许支持，但对该承诺能否真正兑现表示犹豫。这表明，在总统和国会议员就该提案是否需要立法机构批准存在分歧的情况下，共和党要让“特朗普分红”在国会获得通过将举步维艰。
“我反对这项提议，这是拿钱买选票，”南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员拉尔夫·诺曼对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“不应为了让人们投你的票而给他们好处。另外，钱从哪里来？我们的国债已经高达40万亿美元了。”
众议院拨款委员会主席、俄克拉荷马州共和党人汤姆·科尔表示，他对该提案能否实现持“怀疑态度”。如果这项5000美元刺激计划真的提交国会，他所在的权力强大的委员会很可能将在法案起草过程中发挥重要作用。

“拿出10亿美元……我更愿意用这笔钱加强国防或为社会保障提供资金，我认为这是更好的资金用途。但话说回来，我们得先看看具体方案。目前还没有相关法案，”科尔对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。

他随后更乐观地补充道：“我们只是有一个想法，想要把钱还给美国人民。我喜欢这个想法。”
佛罗里达州共和党众议员约翰·拉瑟福德表示，如果这笔现金的突然注入不会推高通胀率，他可以支持这项提议。
“但这项政策应该有所限制——应该针对在职人员和纳税人。我认为我们不应该不分青红皂白地给所有人发支票，”拉瑟福德对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。
德克萨斯州共和党众议员贝丝·范·戴恩只是简单表示：“细节决定成败。我更倾向于寻找创造就业机会的途径。”

选民就发放5000美元支票的想法向特朗普传递直白信息
北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员布拉德·诺特称赞特朗普坦诚直率，但也表示如果没有相关限制措施，他对这项刺激计划并不热衷。
“如果我们能制定税收激励政策，无论是减税还是退税这类相关措施，我认为这比单纯给所有人寄支票要好得多，”诺特说道。
但也有人支持这项提议，比如众议院自由核心小组主席、马里兰州共和党人安迪·哈里斯。
“我认为辛勤工作的美国人，也就是纳税人，理应获得退税。我们需要讨论退税的具体规模，”哈里斯对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，他认为5000美元的金额应该经过协商。“这是个好主意。”
他补充道，该提案应该在国会通过，可能会采用共和党用来通过《宏伟美好法案》的相同机制。
“这很可能需要通过和解程序来推进，”他说道。
共和党研究委员会主席、德克萨斯州共和党人奥古斯特·普弗格建议，资金可以来自联邦政府在打击纳税人资金浪费、欺诈和滥用行为过程中追回的款项。
“我们为什么不继续贯彻总统打击欺诈的方针，把那些被偷走的钱作为分红发给这个伟大国家的人民呢？”普弗格说道，他指出上一届政府期间有数千亿美元因欺诈而流失。

据一些估计，向每位美国成年人发放5000美元的总成本至少为1万亿美元，占美国年度预算的很大一部分。如此高昂的成本在历史上都需要国会批准，但总统可能并不这么认为。
“我认为如果有必要，他们会配合的，但我觉得没必要，”特朗普在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访被问及刺激计划是否需要国会批准时说道。

但众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊本周早些时候在接受美国有线电视新闻网《国情咨文》节目采访时表示：“我认为是的，他需要国会采取行动。”

GOP lawmakers pump brakes on Trump’s $5K check promise: ‘Where are you getting the money?’
September 17, 2026 3:01pm EDT / Fox News
Trump said he likely would not need Congress to fulfill the vow, but lawmakers disagree

[‘Trump dividend’ promise gets rocky reception on Capitol Hill]
Several House Republicans spoke with Fox News Digital about President Donald Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks for every adult American if the GOP wins in the midterms.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump’s promise of a big payout for Americans if Republicans win the midterms is getting a rocky reception on Capitol Hill.
Several Republicans outright oppose the $5,000 check promise, while others offered tacit support in comments to Fox News Digital but hesitated on whether it could actually be delivered. It’s a sign that the GOP will have an uphill fight to get the “Trump dividend” approved by Congress with the president and lawmakers divided over whether it even needs the legislative branch’s green light.
“I disagree with it. It’s pay-to-play,” Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., told Fox News Digital. “You shouldn’t pay anybody to vote your conscience. Plus, where are you getting the money? I think we’re in debt $40 trillion.”
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., whose powerful committee would likely play a major role in crafting the $5,000 stimulus if it did run through Congress, said he was “skeptical” it could be achieved.

“Take a billion dollars. … I’d rather use it to either bolster defense or save Social Security. I think that’s a better use of the money. But, again, we have to see what we’re looking at. Right now, we don’t have a bill,” Cole told Fox News Digital.

He added more optimistically, “We just have an idea that we want to get money back to the American people. I like that.”
Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., said he could support the idea if the sudden injection of cash wouldn’t send inflation rates soaring.
“But it ought to be limited — people that are working, people that are paying taxes. I don’t think we should just send paychecks out to everybody willy-nilly,” Rutherford told Fox News Digital.
Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, simply said, “The devil’s always in the details. I prefer to look at ways of getting people job opportunities.”

VOTERS HAVE A BLUNT MESSAGE FOR TRUMP ABOUT HIS IDEA TO DOLE OUT $5,000 CHECKS
Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., praised Trump’s candor but signaled he was not enthusiastic about a stimulus without guardrails.
“If we can structure tax incentives, if we can do some type of — whether it’s a cut, whether it’s a rebate, something in that vein, I think it’s probably a little better policy than mailing people a check just because they’re here,” Knott said.
But the idea did find support from others, like House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md.
“I think that hardworking Americans, probably taxpayers, deserve a tax rebate. We’re going to have to discuss how large a rebate that’ll be,” Harris told Fox News Digital, suggesting the $5,000 figure should be up for negotiation. “That’s a good idea.”
He added that it should go through Congress, potentially through the same mechanism that Republicans used to pass the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.
“It would probably have to go through reconciliation,” he said.
Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, suggested the money could come from what the federal government recovers in efforts to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars.
“Why don’t we continue the president’s approach towards fraud and give a dividend to the people of this great country who that money was stolen from?” Pfluger suggested, arguing that hundreds of billions of dollars were lost to fraud in the last administration.

Giving $5,000 to every American adult could cost at least $1 trillion by some estimates, a significant portion of the U.S. annual budget. A price tag that big historically would be subject to congressional approval, but the president may disagree.
“I think they will do it if we needed it, but I think not,” Trump told CBS News when asked if Congress would need to approve the stimulus.

But Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told CNN’s “State of the Union” earlier this week, “I would assume, yes, he’d need Congress to act.”
