Meet Trump’s core supporters in Indiana

 

It's in the Koolaid

Headline:  New York Times, 5/6/2026

Nick Corasaniti and Shane Goldmacher report:

For all the talk of divisions within the MAGA movement over the war in Iran, the results in Indiana on Tuesday showed that Mr. Trump can still inspire the kind of voters who will turn out to vote when he asks them to. In this case, it was for revenge: The challengers Mr. Trump backed defeated at least five of the seven Republicans incumbents in the Indiana Legislature who had defied his call to draw new congressional maps ahead of the midterms. 

Victories in a low-turnout Republican primary [in deep-red GOP Indiana State Senate districts] do not mean that Republican fortunes are improving ahead of the midterm elections. The party still faces an uphill battle to keep control of Congress, amid intense headwinds from the unpopular Iran war and growing economic anxiety. [emphasis and parenthetical comment added]
