Former President Donald Trump’s campaign received positive news from a prominent evangelical group this week. This development will significantly boost the campaign’s financial resources. Faith & Freedom has announced its plan to invest a substantial $62 million in voter registration and get-out-the-vote initiatives. This strategy includes voter assistance, increasing voter turnout, and conducting door-to-door campaigns, particularly in key battleground states. According to Politico, this amount is $10 million higher than what the organization spent in the previous election cycle. Additionally, Faith & Freedom aims to distribute 30 million informational materials to 125,000 churches.
“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.
“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.
Approximately 10,000 individuals are set to be mobilized, with the main goal of urging 1 million recently registered evangelical voters to participate in the election and mobilizing an additional 7.8 million evangelicals who are considered low-propensity voters to also take part in the voting process, as per Politico.
Reed highlighted that during Trump’s presidency, the 45th president was extremely pro-life, which was quite remarkable. Consequently, he is expected to receive more support from the pro-life grassroots compared to a typical candidate or even compared to the support he received in 2016. “In 2016, there was a lack of trust, but now there is complete trust,” he stated.
During a recent address at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Trump cautioned about a “radical left, corrupt political class” that is against Christianity, as reported by The New York Times.
“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.”
“No one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration. I swear to you,” he also said, per Scripps News Service.
