In the 2026 US midterm elections, Indian-American political donations favored Republicans, with about $10.8 million contributed to Republican groups versus $3.3 million to Democrats by a select group of donors. However, voter surveys indicate Indian-American voters lean Democratic, favoring Democratic Senate candidates by 66% to 18%. Approximately 2.6 million eligible Indian-American voters, concentrated in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Texas, and New Jersey, could influence closely contested races amid evolving political preferences influenced by economic and social issues.
