"Pro-Trump Pastors Embrace White Christian Nationalism"

Pastors for Trump, a far-right religious group with ties to Donald Trump loyalists Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, is planning events with pastors in swing state churches to spur more evangelical backing for the former US president’s 2024 campaign. The group is drawing sharp rebukes from mainstream Christian leaders for being extremist, distorting Christian teachings, and endangering American democracy by fueling the spread of Christian nationalism. The group intends to sponsor a “freedom tour” with evening church meetings in key swing states this summer, an effort that could help Trump win more backing from this key Republican voting bloc which could prove crucial to his winning the GOP nomination again.
