US-based journalist: Trump's MAGA base accuses Ukraine of trying to sway the midterm elections
A journalist working in the United States says supporters of Donald Trump's MAGA movement are spreading the claim that Ukraine is trying to influence the US midterm elections. The narrative reportedly appears at every level of the American information space.
Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are being drawn into US domestic politics ahead of the midterm elections to Congress. Euromaidan Press reports that a journalist based in the United States says supporters of President Donald Trump's MAGA ("Make America Great Again") movement are promoting the claim that "Zelenskyy is helping Democrats" and that Ukraine is trying to swing the election outcome.
A narrative across many levels
According to the journalist, the story is not confined to one corner of the media landscape. It runs across all levels of the US information space, from anonymous social media accounts to national television.
What the source does not say
The available excerpt of the article gives no specific examples, named statements or evidence of any attempt at influence. What is described here is therefore only the journalist's observation that such a claim is circulating, not an established fact about Ukraine's actions.
