President Donald Trump launched his campaign's
new coalition to court evangelical voters at a Latino megachurch
Friday, part of efforts to shore up support in the community for his re-election bid as well as broaden it in the wake of a prominent evangelical magazine coming out in support of his impeachment.
“Every
Democratic candidate running for president is trying to punish
religious believers and silence our churches,” Trump told a crowd of
thousands at the Ministerio Internacional El Rey Jesús. "This election
is about the survival of our nation."
The
rally-style event, which included everything from a prayer session and
brief remarks by a young woman who chose not to get an abortion after
becoming pregnant unexpectedly in college, saw Trump acknowledge the
power of the evangelical voters who helped put him in office in 2016 and
boast of conservative accomplishments both real and exaggerated while
promising more to come.
A win in November, Trump said, would be “another monumental victory for faith and family, God and country."
