Trump Leverages Non-Citizen Nicki Minaj to Court Young Voters in Midterm Push
President Donald Trump has enlisted rapper Nicki Minaj to urge young Americans to support the Republican Party in the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, despite Minaj’s lack of U.S. citizenship. The 43-year-old artist, who previously criticized the president, now identifies as his 'number one fan' and has appeared on Fox News to promote GOP candidates. Although Minaj is finalizing her citizenship paperwork, she is currently ineligible to vote. This strategic move aims to counter Trump’s declining approval ratings, which have fallen to 37%, the lowest for a president entering midterms since 1990.
