美国总统特朗普在达拉斯举行的共和党期中代表大会上宣布，若共和党在11月保住参众两院多数，将向全美近2.7亿成年人发放每人5000美元的“特朗普红利”，资金须在美国境内消费。该提议预计耗资1万亿至1.3万亿美元，迅速引发共和党财政保守派对债务激增的质疑，民主党则批评其为空头支票，法律专家亦指出向选民提供附带选举条件的资金可能触及联邦法规限制。

President Donald Trump announced at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas that every adult American would receive a $5,000 'Trump dividend' to be spent domestically if Republicans retain Congress in November.

面对党内同僚的猛烈批评与退党猜测，费特曼发表声明坚称自己仍是终身民主党人，绝大多数时候与本党一致投票，并承诺若民主党在11月赢得参议院多数，他将继续担任关键的第51票。

Amid fierce backlash from fellow Democrats and speculation about party switching, Fetterman issued a statement reaffirming he remains a lifelong Democrat who votes reliably with his caucus, promising to serve as the critical 51st vote if Democrats flip the Senate in November.
