Deep dives
Evangelical Support for Trump
Evangelical support for Trump remains steadfast, and it is inaccurate to separate the MAGA base from evangelicals. Trump had widespread support among evangelical pastors, particularly those who emphasized issues like abortion and the alleged stolen election. Evangelical voters have a significant influence in politics, with around 14% of Americans falling into the white evangelical category. They tend to vote in alignment with a party line and play a pivotal role in crucial swing states, making their support crucial for Republican candidates.
