A year on, few regrets among Trump voters

THERE'S no buyer's remorse for returning Donald Trump to the White House among his supporters in America’s most divided state, locals said a year on from the election.

Opponents of the President in Milwaukee, Wisconsin are increasingly angry, and call him a fascist who has allowed people to breed hatred.

But his supporters in southern Milwaukee are pleased with how he's handling the job - even if he is dividing families and ending friendships.

"Right now with the country shut down we've got two tribes fighting,” said Russell Schmidt, a retired man who volunteers to look after his local Lutheran Church. “I really don't see any trend toward sitting down and treating each other like human beings and talking about it, like we should.”

Trump won Wisconsin by 0.9% in 2024 - just 30,000 votes in a state of 6 million would have swung it for Democrat Kamala Harris.

Then she would have needed just two more of the battleground states she lost by less than 2%.

Across the country Trump's backers remain happy with their choice. Recent voter regret polls have put the percentage of people who would have voted differently in single digits.
