Trump consolidates his control in the Republican primaries

Published on May 24, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Donald Trump has reaffirmed his dominance over the Republican Party during the primaries, boosting candidates aligned with his MAGA movement for the November midterm elections. These aspirants benefit from the active support of a loyal base that mobilizes strongly, despite the former president's overall popularity showing a slight decline.

The MAGA algorithm and the engineering of loyal voting 🗳️

Trump's strategy relies on a data network and digital micro-targeting inherited from previous campaigns. His teams use predictive analytics tools to identify undecided voters in key districts, optimizing the delivery of personalized messages. This technical approach reduces resource dispersion and maximizes impact in communities where affinity with the movement is high, replicating mobilization tactics already tested in 2020.

The base votes with faith, not with popularity charts 📊

Although polls show that Trump's popularity has dropped like a thermometer in a cold wave, his followers seem not to have received the memo. For them, the numbers are like the instruction manuals for Swedish furniture: they are ignored, and they move forward on pure enthusiasm. After all, if reality doesn't match the narrative, you can always change the channel.
