Donald Trump claims to have fervent support among Christian evangelicals, even as pockets of the community have started speaking out against the president
The letter decried Trump for pushing policies that it said are antithetical to Christian faith: “There is absolutely nothing good or virtuous about tearing immigrant families apart, cutting programs for the poor while giving hundreds of millions of tax cuts to the wealthiest among us, or threatening to take away health care from those with preexisting conditions — all of which are lynchpins of your agenda.
The president’s allies say he needs to add only 3 or 4 percentage points to his 65-point margin of victory among white evangelicals in 2016 in order to compensate for weakening support among other demographics, including college-educated white voters and suburban men and women.
Trump will build on the same themes he discussed in his speech at the annual Values Voter Summit in October, the adviser said. The president’s appearance at the conservative gathering last fall also came at a difficult juncture in his relationship with the evangelical community.
