Trump Lands Huge Support From Major Evangelical Group


Former President Donald Trump’s campaign will undoubtedly benefit from a major evangelical organization’s new financial pledge.

According to Politico, Faith & Freedom intends to spend a record-breaking $62 million towards a voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaign. This initiative encompasses voter support, increasing turnout, and door-to-door canvassing, with a specific emphasis on battleground states, the outlet reported.

The organization intends to distribute 30 million pieces of literature across 125,000 churches and will spend $10 million more than it did during the 2020 election.

“In terms of home visits and voters reached at the door, to my knowledge, it’s the largest effort on the right outside of the Republican National Committee ever,” Ralph Reid, who heads the organization, said, adding that when the GOP is outspent by Democrat-aligned groups, it hurts the party’s chances at the ballot box.

“In this business, you’re paid to worry, and we certainly have seen in recent cycles — particularly in the statewide races and especially the Senate races — we’ve seen the spending gap become overwhelming, serious, and debilitating,” Reed said.

According to Politico, approximately 10,000 individuals will be mobilized with the primary goal of motivating 1 million recently registered evangelical voters to participate in the election. Additionally, they aim to rally another 7.8 million evangelicals who are considered low-propensity voters to also engage in the electoral process.

Reed noted that during Trump’s time in office, the 45th president “was so pro-life that it was astonishing. And as a result of that, he’s going to get more running room from the pro-life grassroots than a typical candidate might get or that he would have gotten in ’16. In ’16, I think there was a lack of trust, and now there is total trust,” he added.

In a speech recently to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, the 45th president warned of a “radical left, corrupt political class” that opposes Christianity, The New York Times reported.

“Christians, they can’t afford to sit on the sidelines in this fight,” Trump told the group, adding that leftist Democrats oppose Christianity because “they know that our allegiance is not to them. Our allegiance is to our country, and our allegiance is to our Creator.”
