CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Recent statements by Donald Trump have fueled Democrats’ sense that there’s an opening among voters with strong military ties, and progressive veterans’ organizations are working to bridge the gap with what has long been a reliably red constituency. The appeals now face an early test on Super Tuesday. That’s when votes will be taken in states with some of the nation’s highest rates of active-duty service members and largest veterans populations. Any significant departure from that group could spell trouble for Trump in a November rematch with President Joe Biden. AP VoteCast finds that just over half of those with a veteran in the household voted for Trump in the 2020 general election.
