Democrats court veterans to flip Republican seats over Iran war anger

Original: With anger spreading over Iran war, Democrats hope to flip Republican seats with veterans’ help

Democrats are recruiting veteran candidates to challenge Republican incumbents in congressional races, hoping to capitalise on growing public anger over the war with Iran. The party believes veterans' credibility on national security could help them win seats in districts that might otherwise stay Republican as the conflict shapes up as a defining midterm issue.

Why now: Public anger over the Iran war is creating what Democrats see as a political opening to flip Republican-held congressional seats ahead of elections.
