CONCORD, North Carolina — Former President Donald Trump is making a final push to win over evangelicals in the final two weeks of the 2024 election, campaigning in the south with religious leaders Monday.
Trump’s campaign schedule, which has seen him visit Georgia and North Carolina, as well as a planned visit to Florida, makes it clear that the former president believes his path back to the White House runs through the South.
The Republican nominee’s Monday night rally in Concord, a suburb of Charlotte, featured several religious leaders, including Franklin Graham, and had a stated focus on not only faith, but the role that Christians could play in determining the election’s outcome.
Peter Navarro, Trump’s former trade ambassador, spoke ahead of the former president and outright told the crowd that if Harris wins in November, both the countries and devout Christians will suffer.
