US President Donald Trump made cracking down on undocumented immigration a defining promise of his political comeback. But as the November 3, 2026 US midterm elections approach, can that promise help Republicans retain control of Congress? In this edition of Spotlight, Danila Laurel is joined by Michael Leon, host of the news commentary podcast 'Can We Please Talk?' from New York, as they examine whether Trump's immigration crackdown continues to energise his MAGA base, why broader voter priorities are shifting, and how inflation, healthcare and the cost of living could shape the electoral battle. We examine polling on which party voters trust more on key issues, the political risks facing Republicans in competitive districts, and Trump's appeal to supporters ahead of a crucial test of his presidency. --- Trump | Midterms | US Midterms | Immigrations | Indians in US | Indians in Midterms | US Midterms Trump | US Midterms News | Midterms News | Battleground Midterms | Firstpost | Spotli
