Important Takeaways:

• Christian TV evangelicals fire up Trump support with messianic message
• “This is really a battle between good and evil,” evangelical TV preacher Hank Kunneman says of the slew of criminal charges facing Donald Trump. “There’s something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It’s called the anointing.”
• Voices in Christian media are pressing message of Biblical proportions: The 2024 presidential race is a fight for America’s soul, and a persecuted Trump has God’s protection.
• “They’re just trying to bankrupt him. They’re trying to take everything he’s got. They’re trying to put him in prison,” Lance Wallnau said in October on “The Jim Bakker Show”, an hour-long daily broadcast that focuses on news and revelation about the end times. “The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped.”
• Some Christian media are bolstering his support by portraying him as an instrument of God’s will who faces persecution by his foes.
• The roughly 80 million Americans who describe themselves as born-again or evangelical Protestants – about a quarter of the population – have provided the bedrock for his meteoric rise, and their turnout levels this November could prove critical in a tight contest against Democratic rival Joe Biden.
• Many Christian voters credit Trump with a series of policy victories, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in 2022 to overturn the constitutional right to abortion after he appointed three conservative justices to the court, plus the moving of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
