Several pundits who claim the title “evangelical” publicly oppose President Trump. Citing his character, they argue that the president is so flawed that they cannot allow their witness to be sullied, regardless of his favorable policy achievements. Some have even gone as far as to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden.

Character is always relevant. But does Biden’s character surpass Trump’s? I would argue that, with regard to his deepest-held beliefs, Vice President Biden has displayed a more flawed character than Trump.
