GOP will 'get crushed': Pastor says evangelicals don't want to nominate 'elementary schoolchild' Trump
A “silent majority” that supported Donald Trump in his 2016 and 2020 presidential runs is now quietly , Vanity Fair reports.
The University of Chicago Divinity School’s magazine reported that nearly 81 percent of “self-identifying white evangelical voters” voted for Trump in 2016.
However, despite Trump keeping several promises to evangelical voters during his term — including nominating conservative judges to the Supreme Court and successfully overturning Roe v. Wade as a result — it may not be enough to win the voting bloc over again.
Bob Vander Plaats, a noted evangelical pastor said, “There’s a lot of people who share a lot of our similar thoughts but don’t want to go on record.”
Last month,Washington Times Columnist Everett Piper penned an article in which she expressed that Trump is “hurting…not helping” evangelicals. She said, “the take-home of this past week is simple: Donald Trump has to go.”
“If he’s our nominee in 2024, we will get destroyed," Piper added.
