Trump's immigration policies and GOP rhetoric alienate Indian American voters

Donald Trump's efforts to court Indian American voters have been undermined by his administration's immigration policies and rhetoric from some Republicans. While Trump saw increased support from this demographic in 2024, a recent survey indicates a significant reversal, with a majority now intending to vote for Democrats in upcoming midterms. Concerns over H-1B visa restrictions and perceived anti-Indian sentiment among some GOP figures have contributed to this shift, overshadowing economic factors that had previously drawn some Indian Americans toward the Republican party.
