Some Evangelicals Are Looking for a Reason to Vote

With Election Day less than two weeks away, there are a lot of white evangelicals who do not want to vote for Donald Trump in November. But they probably will. Why? 

Because they do not believe there is a place for them in Kamala Harris’s America.

Many rank-and-file white evangelicals are fed up with Trump. I talk to them regularly. They live in my neighborhood. They are part of the constituency of Messiah University, the central Pennsylvania Christian college where I teach. They are part of my evangelical faith community. They live in my neighborhood. They are on social media.

These evangelicals are tired of Trump’s lies, the demonization of his enemies, his assault on democratic institutions, his refusal to accept the 2020 election results, the felony charges, and his defense of the January 6 insurrectionists.
