Why Indian-American support for Trump is slipping before midterms

·South China Morning Post·Impact 2/5 · Moderate
MeridStreet AI summary

Indian-American support for President Donald Trump is slipping ahead of the US midterm elections. This decline in support is attributed to several factors, including immigration restrictions, rising living costs, and strains in US-India relations. These issues are testing the loyalty of Indian-Americans who previously backed the Republican Party in 2024. As a result, a significant majority of Indian-Americans now favour Democratic candidates, with 66 per cent supporting them over 18 per cent for Republicans.
