Summary
Nearly 20 MAGA voters interviewed outside Trump’s Port Huron rally said rising gas, diesel and grocery costs would not shake their support or push them toward Democrats in the midterms.
95% of self-described MAGA voters approve of Trump even as his overall approval hit 36% in the latest Fox News poll, with supporters framing inflation as temporary pain tied to necessary action.
Iran was central to that defense: voters echoed Trump’s claim that the war is needed to stop Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon and said the security rationale outweighs higher prices.
Immigration still rivaled the economy and war as a top priority for some attendees, who also cited border enforcement, culture-war issues and tax pledges as reasons to stay loyal.
The show of support comes as Republicans try to protect slim House and Senate majorities in a difficult midterm climate, with Michigan emerging as a key battleground.
