Veterans Don’t Buy the Media’s Anti-Trump Narrative — and Harris Pays The Price; 'We believe in Donald Trump': More Than a Dozen Medal of Honor Recipients Endorse Former President; Military Veterans Remain a Republican Group, Backing Trump Over Harris by Wide Margin

Veterans don’t buy the media’s anti-Trump narrative — and Harris pays the price:
Kamala Harris has a problem with veterans.
They overwhelmingly support her opponent — favoring Donald Trump by a lopsided 61% to 37%, according to the latest Pew Research Center survey.
For years, civilians have been sold a narrative that just isn’t true.
Democrats and liberals in the media invested heavily in trying to portray Trump as a leader at odds with America’s men and women in uniform.
But veterans themselves never bought the story — they’ve been one of the Republican’s most steadfast constituencies.
Trump won about six out of 10 veterans in each of the past two presidential elections, and he’s on track to match that performance this year.
Veterans like JD Vance better than Tim Walz, too.
Both vice-presidential contenders are veterans themselves, though Harris’ running mate has been criticized by men who served alongside him in the National Guard, who say Walz lied about his rank and exited the service just in time to avoid being sent to war in Iraq.
While Walz does well with civilians, Pew’s poll of veterans finds they prefer the ex-Marine on Trump’s ticket: 53% of vets view Vance favorably, while only 34% have a positive impression of Walz.
The Pew study suggests veteran discontent with Vice President Harris isn’t simply the result of a partisan tilt toward the GOP among vets.
Overall, less than a quarter of those polled — 23% — say Harris would make things better for veterans if she became president, compared to 55% who say Trump would do so.
Even among veterans who support Harris, 33% say she won’t make much difference either way if she wins the White House, and 5% say she’d actually make things worse.
Trump’s supporters, on the other hand, have little doubt — 83% of those backing him say he’d make things better for vets. --->READ MORE HERE
