"Trump Has Cost Us": US Midterm Defeat Makes MAGA Ask If 'It's Over'
Across the coalition, some supporters who once viewed Trump as MAGA's greatest asset are beginning to question whether he's become its biggest liability.
Following the Republican Party's recent electoral defeat in the midterm elections, some supporters within the Make America Great Again movement are questioning whether Donald Trump has transitioned from an asset to a liability. According to the New Straits Times, voters disillusioned by issues including corruption in Washington, the Iran war, and rising fuel prices delivered decisive congressional majorities to Democrats.
The New Straits Times reports that the midterm losses functioned as a referendum on the political and cultural movement Trump built. In Dallas, businessman and three-time Trump voter Michael Little expressed the sentiment that Trump has cost the movement, stating that people are angry with the president. NDTV notes that across the coalition, supporters who previously viewed Trump as a primary asset are beginning to question his role.
In his first major response to the election results, Trump doubled down on the movement's core principles by promoting Stephen Miller.
