A Pew Research Poll published shortly before the 2024 presidential election showed veterans preferred former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
“The poll, conducted with 876 veteran registered voters, gave Trump or ‘Leans Trump’ 61% of the key demographic’s support. Just 37% of the veterans polled responded that they support Harris,” Fox News wrote at the time. (TAKE A POLL: Is It Necessary To Increase Funding For Veterans’ Services?)
“The reason veterans are sticking with Trump, despite all the fake news, all the lies about Trump, is because veterans care about two things: results, and their pension,” Air Force veteran and Veterans 4 America First Institute founder Darin Selnick told the outlet.
VA Gone Downhill?
“And so with the VA, you know, veterans all over the country saying, ‘We want Trump back’ because the VA has gone downhill. We’re not getting our choice of staff or not being accountable,” added Selnick. (READ MORE: VA Has ‘Mismanagement Crisis’ Says Decorated Veteran)
Some 60% of veterans cast their ballots for Trump in 2020, most avoiding things like the mainstream corporate news media to get their updates about the election. “”They saw the difference, and [veterans are] going to stick with Trump. They also saw in terms of the bigger picture of the country. They saw what happened in Afghanistan. They saw what Trump did, how he got rid of ISIS. They saw what he did on foreign policy, saw what he was doing, how it worked… They’ve seen with their own eyes,” Selnick added.
