GOP lawmakers pump brakes on Trump's $5K check promise: 'Where are you getting the money?'

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.
