Former President Donald Trump is courting voters in Arizona and Nevada who are Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons.

Mormons, a typically strong Republican voting bloc, have seen some defections to the Democrats in recent years, partly due to Democratic overtures. Last month, Vice President Kamala Harris launched “Latter-day Saints for Harris-Walz,” specifically targeting Mormon voters in Arizona and Nevada. Now, Trump is making his own appeal, hosting a number of Mormon influencers and political figures at Mar-a-Lago.
