Trump vs MAGA: Why his movement is splitting

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, divisions within the MAGA camp are becoming increasingly visible. From the war in Iran and rising fuel prices to the Epstein files, several of Trump’s decisions are fuelling divisions among his most loyal supporters. Once united by a shared vision of America, MAGA now brings together factions that increasingly disagree over foreign policy, the economy and what “America First” should actually mean.

Could US midterms impact the EU? Transatlantic ties hit new low after Trump-Putin diesel deal

From the EU's perspective, the second Trump presidency has felt even more destabilising than the first.

Midterms 2026: The former neo-Nazi pastor speaking out against Trump

According to one poll, 82 per cent of white evangelical Protestants voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential election. That makes pastor Caleb Campbell a significant outlier – he has been one of the few outspoken evangelical critics of the Trump administration, dating back to the president’s first term when he felt compelled to speak out against Trump’s plans to put “kids in cages” as part of an immigration crackdown. “I was told that I was possessed by a demon,” Campbell remembers. Now, as the midterms approach, he fears US politics and the current administration have become more distant than ever from the Bible’s teachings.
