That margin repeats similarly staggering margins of evangelical support that T rump received in 2020 .

Evangelicals’ support of Trump initially took many by surprise, given his casino ventures, multiple marriages.

Pastor Abraham Rivera of La Puerta Life Center in North Miami , Florida , attributed Trump ’s popularity among all Latinos , and evangelicals in particular, to conservative values.

Fea said a Christian nationalist agenda may be more rhetorical than substantive on the national level.

He anticipated that the Trump administration would not push back against such things as a new Louisiana law requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools.

Other groups, nationally and within local churches, are poised to push back.
