US EditionWhite Nationalist Fuentes Plans to Target 2026 Midterms
Nick Fuentes plans to use America First Foundation to evaluate 2026 GOP candidates and influence party direction by exposing networks he calls the 'Israel First lobby.'
- On Monday, Nick Fuentes said he is leading an initiative to steer the Republican Party and to `infiltrate politics` by evaluating every candidate running in 2026, while revamping the America First Foundation to map what he calls the `patronage networks` of the `Israel First lobby`.
- Weeks ago, Tucker Carlson's segment interviewing Nick Fuentes reignited scrutiny and intensified infighting on the American right.
- Fuentes has long used racist and antisemitic rhetoric, streams on Rumble after bans, and shifted from trollish stunts to a daily address seeking message control.
- He urged followers to organize in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina and to show up on Super Tuesday, intensifying infighting within the American right and signaling a serious call to action.
- Rooted in online history, Fuentes's strategy builds on Gamergate and weaponized trolling, using the great replacement theory that helped mobilize the Charlottesville rally where one was killed and 35 injured.
