Donald Trump says the US will send a one-time $90 payment to 20 million seniors enrolled in Medicare. The announcement, reported by the Guardian, comes weeks ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and is being framed by critics as an attempt to court older voters, a key voting bloc, while the Trump administration presents it as support for seniors facing rising healthcare costs.
Why now: The announcement lands shortly before the 2026 US midterm elections, raising questions about whether it is a political move aimed at senior voters.
