İmmigration issue at center of Republican Campaigns

Eight American states held primary elections on Tuesday. Voters chose candidates who will represent political parties in the general elections. In November, voters will fill all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, and one third of the 100 seats in the Senate.

Many Republican Party candidates plan to center their campaigns on an issue President Donald Trump considers important – immigration. Last week, more than 5,000 supporters attended a political event in Nashville, Tennessee. Many shouted “build the wall” in support for Trump’s plan for a wall between the United States and Mexico.

Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn said in a video: “I believe in President Trump’s immigration ban, and I’ll fight with him every step of the way to build that wall.” Blackburn is currently seeking a Senate seat. Across the country, immigration has been a subject in more than one third of television ads for Republicans seeking House seats. The newspaper USA Today says those candidates run immigration issue messages almost as much as pro-Trump ads.

Dan Cox works for the Public Religion Research Institute, PRRI, a nonprofit group. He said many experts debate whether pro-Trump voters will turn out to support other Republican candidates. He added that many Republican candidates are trying to copy Trump’s position and way of thinking on some issues.
