Trump’s farm-state voters face economic pain — turning into a midterm nightmare for GOP

Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson warned that the financial collapse hitting American farmers is rapidly becoming a political crisis for the GOP as the midterms approach, with many of Trump’s most loyal voters paying the price for his policies. Writing on Substack, Wilson said rural counties that overwhelmingly backed Trump are now watching family farms buckle under tariffs that wiped out export markets, slashed crop income, and drove profits into a historic plunge. He added that the administration’s immigration crackdowns compounded the damage by gutting the farm labor force, leaving crops unharvested and losses piling up. The result, Wilson argued, is a slow-motion electoral disaster for Republicans tied to an incumbent whose agenda is bankrupting the voters who put him in power.
