Donald Trump's preparation for mid-term elections: Former US President's election slogan, Indo-US best friends

Chicago businessman and Trump's party strategist Shalabh Kumar recently recorded this at Trump's Florida residence Mar-a-Lago. Earlier in 2016, Shalabh Kumar was also behind Trump's Hindi slogan 'Abki Baar Trump Sarkar', which was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election slogan 'Abki Baar Modi Sarkar'. 

Trump does not speak Hindi at all, but he uttered this slogan clearly in just three takes. He laughs and says, while the people of our team had a lot of difficulty in getting the correct pronunciation of the word Bharat and they had to take more than 100 retakes.

Trump took a long time to speak the Hindi slogan 'Abki Baar Trump Sarkar' in 2016 and was able to pronounce it correctly after 12 takes. It was recorded at Trump Tower. It is noteworthy that the mid-term election to be held in November is very important for Trump. Its results will determine his stature in American politics. 

Purpose - To garner support in swing areas where Trump lost in 2020

Shalabh explains that the purpose of this slogan, made keeping in mind the mid-term election, is to mobilize Indian American voters in support of Republicans. Specifically targeting areas where Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Ohio, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona are such areas.

Indeed, Indian-Americans have emerged as a key vote in swing states, where victory or defeat is decided by a thousand or a few thousand votes. In select swing states, the Indian American population is larger than the margin of victory, according to a 2020 report by US think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which ousted Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Trump in 2020 in a close fight.

Biden, for example, won Wisconsin by 20,000 votes. In 2016, Trump won here by 22,000 votes. The Pennsylvania election was won by Biden by 80,000 votes, while Trump won in 2016 by 50,000 votes. Similarly, Biden won in Georgia by 12,000 votes and in 2016 Trump won by more than 200,000 votes. This is the reason why both the Democratic and Republican parties are now aggressively wooing Indian Americans.

1% share in the population, yet Indian voters are kingmakers

The number of Indian diaspora in America is about 42 lakhs. They account for a little over 1% of the US population, but they are spread in such a way that they are decisive in 6 states and 10 seats in Congress. Their share ranges from 6 to 18%. Their largest population is in California, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Illinois. But they also matter in swing states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Georgia and Arizona, where their numbers are small, but are greater than the margin of victory or defeat in an election.
