Evangelicals for Harris: A New Coalition Challenges Trump's Stronghold

A diverse group of evangelicals is breaking away from Trump, endorsing Kamala Harris and redefining their faith's political identity.

Rev. Lee Scott and other evangelical leaders have publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, citing a desire for transformation and an end to political vitriol.
Grassroots groups like Evangelicals for Harris are expanding efforts to sway evangelical voters in key swing states, with plans to spend a million dollars on targeted advertisements.
In 2020, Biden secured about one-third of evangelical voters, and the Harris campaign aims to build on this by focusing on Black Protestants, Latino evangelicals, and other faith communities.
Harris' campaign has hired Rev. Jen Butler to lead religious outreach, emphasizing shared values on issues like immigration and family support.
The coalition seeks to redefine evangelical identity, challenging the association with the Republican Party and highlighting diverse voices within the faith.
