Nicki Minaj Calls on Young Voters to Back Republicans in 2026 Midterms

In a recent appearance on "My View with Lara Trump," Nicki Minaj appealed to young Americans to become active voters in the 2026 midterm elections, urging them to support Republican candidates and "vote red." She stressed that voting in local races is as important as presidential choices and that young voices are essential for the country's future. Minaj also highlighted her involvement as a celebrity judge for the Small Business Administration's Million Dollar Pitch Competition, a partnership with the Trump administration.

She described Donald Trump as authentic and refreshing for speaking off script, while dismissing what she sees as Democratic pettiness toward pop culture. The rapper framed her political stance as part of the American dream narrative she experienced after immigrating to the United States. Her comments come as she continues to publicly back Trump and align herself with Republican messaging.
