Evangelicals Endorse Kamala Harris for President

A coalition of evangelical leaders, notably Rev. Lee Scott, is endorsing Kamala Harris for president, seeking to shift evangelical support away from Donald Trump, who remains popular among white evangelicals. With a history of backing from these voters, Trump faces challenges as some evangelicals express dissatisfaction with his actions and rhetoric, including his normalization of 'acceptable violence.' The grassroots movement, Evangelicals for Harris, aims to provide an alternative vision that emphasizes compassion and inclusivity in politics. This election cycle, the group plans to expand its operations, targeting battleground states and focusing on outreach to evangelicals, with a goal of achieving significant support for Harris. Scott highlighted the risk of speaking out against Trump, motivated by the desire for transformation in the political discourse among faith communities. The movement's efforts may reflect a broader desire for change among some segments of the evangelical population, which could influence the 2024 election landscape.
