Trump Wins Strong Support from Religious Voters

Donald Trump's recent electoral victory is seen as a significant win for religious voters, particularly among Catholics, who favored him by a notable margin compared to previous elections. His campaign rhetoric has heavily emphasized a belief that he is divinely chosen to restore America, with some supporters likening him to biblical figures like Moses. Evangelical leaders, such as Franklin Graham, affirm this belief, suggesting God intervened to protect Trump from harm. While Trump has gained substantial support from white evangelical Protestants, the political landscape remains divided, with significant opposition from black Protestant voters. Critics within the Christian community argue that supporting Trump overlooks moral character and promotes a narrow view of Christianity. The decline in overall religious affiliation in the U.S. adds complexity to the dynamics of faith and politics, as Trump's appeal to religious voters contrasts with broader trends of secularization.
