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. Yet Trump remains the central figure holding this political coalition together – and he is fighting to keep it that way. Why are some of the president’s longtime allies distancing themselves from him? Can MAGA remain united despite these disagreements? And can Trump still mobilise his base ahead of the midterms? 🔍 Our journalist Stella Elgersma breaks down the divisions within the MAGA movement and Donald Trump’s strategy to rally his supporters, once again.

Attack ads flood Mississippi's shockingly-competitive Senate race

The most-aired ad in the closing stretch of Mississippi's Senate race features a Jeffrey Epstein survivor attacking GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith for voting against releasing files related to the convicted human trafficker. Why it matters: In the past week, Hyde-Smith has been outgunned on the airwaves. AdImpact data shows that only one of the eight most-aired spots portrays her positively. Five of the ads either positively portray her Democratic challenger, Scott Colom , or attack Hyde-Smith for her Senate record, largely painting her as an out-of-touch senator who cares more about her rich donors. The other two ads are for down-ballot races. Zoom out: The Epstein survivor ad has aired more than 1,200 times over the last week, costing the left-leaning New Deal for All super PAC over $329K, per AdImpact. In the ad, Jena-Lisa Jones condemns Hyde-Smith for her vote on the Epstein files and urges Mississippians to vote against her to protect their children. That vote, which passed 51-49 last year, indefinitely postponed an amendment that would have required the full release of the Epstein files by then-Attorney General Pam Bondi. "I do want transparency, and I support releasing information that can legally be released while protecting Epstein's victims. But a procedural vote on one amendment is not the same thing as saying the Epstein files should remain secret," Hyde-Smith said in a statement to the Mississippi Free Press. Hyde-Smith's campaign cut its own attack against Colom, calling him the "transgender defender" and naming him the "most radical Senate candidate of our lifetime." The ad played over 2,800 times across Mississippi and Memphis, Tenn., television markets in the 30 days since its Sept. 10 debut, costing the senator's campaign over $854K, per AdImpact. Hyde-Smith's campaign appears to have pulled back on the ad, spending less than $150,000 to air it between Oct. 19 and Oct. 26. The bottom line: Hyde-Smith is still expected to win, but the race is far tighter
