Donald Trump once had Republicans block and kill a bipartisan immigration reform bill because he wanted to run on the “immigration crisis” during the 2024 election. Trump did run on immigration, but polling shows that immigration wasn’t the reason why he won the election. The economy, inflation, and costs were why Trump was able to sway enough swing-state voters to return to the White House. Since border patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, MN, five days ago, something has shifted. Immigration has turned on Trump to such a degree that a majority of voters have shifted their support away from him on the issue.
