Trump's Immigration Stance Backfires: Republicans Losing Ground Ahead of Midterms

  • Reports and polls suggest the Republican Party is losing support on immigration, traditionally a strong issue for them.
  • Recent incidents, including two killings in Minneapolis, have led to public backlash, eroding Trump's standing.
  • A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 58% of Americans believe Trump's immigration crackdown has "gone too far."
  • Even Trump voters disapprove of his immigration policy implementation, despite supporting the agenda.
  • Experts question if Republicans are ceding immigration, once a winning issue, back to Democrats.

Why It Matters: Trump's aggressive immigration policies are alienating voters, jeopardizing Republican prospects in the midterms.
