The Democrats have a Christianity problem — Trump’s GOP is just as lost

Published Updated



The Left may be on the rise, but the Democratic Party has a Christianity problem. In taking home a landslide midterm victory on Tuesday, the Democrats elected five ministers and a seminarian. The problem: I’m not exactly sure I’d use the term “Christian” to describe them.

Sens.-elect James Talarico (D-TX) and Adam Hamilton (D-KS) and Rep.-elect Lindsay James (D-IA) are the most egregious examples, as they reject the core Christian doctrine that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. This is such a central tenet of Christianity that I could not in good faith refer to them as my “brothers/sister in Christ.”
