Political firebrand Nick Fuentes is telling his followers to support the blue ticket.
Mr. Fuentes, who has been labeled as a White supremacist and antisemitic, blasted President Trump on social media Monday.
“Trump promised ’no new wars,’ then started a war with Iran that we are not only losing but which also destroyed the economy,” he said. “Meanwhile, his corrupt advisors are selling their access to him for millions of dollars to megadonors and foreign countries.”

“Stay home or vote Democrat,” he added.
Mr. Fuentes has a complex and contentious relationship with the president, shifting among early support, public association and blasting of his policies.
He launched his “America First” livestream in 2017 and initially drew inspiration from Mr. Trump’s rhetoric, building a following of young far-right supporters known as Groypers.
He drew wider national attention when he dined with Mr. Trump and rapper Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago.
The president later said he didn’t know who Mr. Fuentes was and that the influencer had accompanied Mr. West as an unexpected guest.
When conservative commentator Tucker Carlson interviewed Mr. Fuentes, the host drew backlash within the Republican Party, prompting Mr. Trump to defend Mr. Carlson and decline to criticize Mr. Fuentes.
