What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNow to politics. The Hill reports that Indian Americans, especially young men, helped bring President Trump back to power in 2024.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut some conservatives in that group say a swirl of anti-Indian language among the online right has turned into administration moves that seem to quietly target people of Indian descent.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo they showed up, they voted, and now they're getting the cold shoulder? I'd call that a mix-up in the seating chart.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLook on the bright side, Vera. Everybody's talking about them, and that's more attention than most voting blocs get at a county fair.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh, I love that. Being noticed is the first step toward being invited to the good buffet.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a real concern for any group that helped deliver a victory.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe serious point is that these voters were courted last time, and now some of them are asking what changed.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's a fair question for any party.
