Donald Trump cites pastor's prophecy during Kansas campaign event
During a campaign event in Kansas supporting Republican Senator Roger Marshall, Donald Trump shared a story regarding a prophecy made by a pastor from Dallas, Texas. Trump claimed the pastor described him as a leader who, despite potential weaknesses or infrequent Bible reading, would lead the country into a unique era of Christianity.
This narrative mirrors a similar story Trump shared in 2024 with Tucker Carlson, in which a pastor reportedly called him the only person who could lead people into the 'promised land.'
These comments come amid data suggesting declining support for Trump among Christian voters. Approval ratings among white evangelical Protestants have reportedly dropped to approximately 52 percent, down from 82 percent in 2024. Support among Catholic voters has also seen declines, with white Catholics at roughly 39 percent and Hispanic Catholics at approximately 18 percent.
