Marques Backs Trump’s $5K Plan | Huntsville News

Alabama Congressman Rhett Marques is backing President Trump’s bold plan to send $5,000 checks to every adult American—conditional on Republicans retaining control of Congress in the midterms. He frames it as a lifeline for Alabamians, contrasting it sharply with his opponent Shomari Figures’ policies, which he labels “socialist” and accuses of pushing tax hikes and funding controversial programs. With a razor-thin race—both candidates tied at 46% in a new poll—the stakes are sky-high, and every policy pitch could sway voters. Trump unveiled the plan at a GOP event, touting it as an economic dividend if Republicans win both chambers, though key details like eligibility and timing remain vague. The proposal, costing over $1 trillion, has ignited fierce debate as campaigns ramp up with big promises and sharp critiques ahead of Election Day.
