Why Nicki Minaj's surprise TPUSA appearance could 'spell trouble' for Dems at the midterms

Former special assistant to former President Joe Biden Michael LaRosa and Washington Times' editor-at-large Alex Swoyer discuss rapper Nicki Minaj's surprise appearance at TPUSA's AmericaFest on 'America Reports.'

Rapper Nicki Minaj's MAGA turn could "spell trouble" for Democrats in next year's midterms, highlighting a potential shift of some anti-Trump voting blocs to the right, Washington Times editor at large Alex Swoyer said Monday.

"If someone like her [Minaj] can make this transformation, I think that speaks volumes about the type of voters that also can across the country," Swoyer told "America Reports."

"We saw it in 2024 with the popular vote, and I think we'll see it again. It could spell trouble for Democrats with the midterms."

Swoyer noted that the president's party typically loses ground in midterm elections, but Minaj could help Republicans "expand their tent."

Minaj made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest on Sunday, teaming up with Erika Kirk for a Q&A. She previously joined forces with the Trump White House at the United Nations to address persecution against Christians in Nigeria.

"I'm honored to be here," Minaj said after Kirk welcomed her to the stage. 

She went on to praise both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, saying both are politicians who have an "uncanny" ability to relate to the American people.

Minaj's appearance received praise from conservatives in the aftermath.

PragerU personality Xaviaer DuRousseau hailed the move as "absolutely iconic," but said he wasn't exactly surprised to see it happen.

"I've watched closely over the last decade as to how the left has demonized President Trump and spread all this propaganda against him simply because he has been draining the swamp in D.C., where the same thing has been happening to Nicki Minaj," he said Monday on "The Will Cain Show."
