Evangelicals launch official support group for Kamala Harris

by Kelly Valencia

US Vice President Kamala Harris is making inroads with the country’s Christian demographic.

‘Evangelicals for Biden’ has rebranded as ‘Evangelicals for Harris’ in an effort to mobilise Christian voters for the presidential candidate.

The group argues that the 59-year-old’s faith “shines through in her clear Christian values displayed in her unwavering support for American families.”

In a Facebook post, the group highlighted Harris's commitment to family-oriented policies, stating: “From advocating for the child tax credit to her pro-family stance throughout her entire career, Kamala has consistently demonstrated her commitment to policies that uplift and empower. She keeps her trusting relationship with God at the centre, sharing, ‘Like many people of faith, I have private conversations with God where I usually ask for the strength and protection to make good decisions and do the right thing.’”

Created by Faith Voters, the group cites Harris's record on infrastructure, healthcare, and climate change, as well as her Baptist faith, as reasons for their support.

They hold Zoom calls every Wednesday with key speakers endorsing Harris, including Billy Graham’s granddaughter, Jerushah Duford.

Despite these efforts, winning over evangelical voters remains challenging for Democrats, as over 80 percent of white evangelical voters back Trump, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in April.
