Politics and piety: Trump’s relationship with white evangelicals

How did the President, whose rhetoric about women and minorities is often violent, become the party of Christians who claim to love their neighbors as themselves?

The relationship between Donald Trump and the 81% of white evangelical Christians who voted him into office can seem contradictory.

And what are they saying as the November election approaches? We take a look at white evangelical voters with the Washington Post‘s SARAH PULLIAM BAILEY and D.L. MAYFIELD, an activist and author of The Myth of the American Dream: Reflections on Affluence, Autonomy, Safety, and Power.
