One Nation quietly drops Trump endorsement after Republican midterm wipeout
One Nation removed a pro-Trump article after Republicans lost 8 per cent in US midterms.
One Nation quietly removed a website article promoting itself as the Australian equivalent of Donald Trump's movement. The article was published in January 2025.
The article featured a photoshopped image of Pauline Hanson and Trump together. The headline read "Want Trump's action and style, then it's One Nation you need."
Republicans faced an 8 per cent swing against them across US House elections. This is double the swing in the previous three midterm cycles.

In Europe, France's National Rally, Germany's AfD, Italy's League, and Spain's Vox all moved away from Trump after the midterms. Populist leaders aligned with Trump have lost elections in Poland, Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil in the past eighteen months.
