Former president and Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trumpcalled on Friday to vote in the presidential elections for Christians and firearms carriers to help him return to the White House at a rally in Florida.
“Christians have to vote. I don’t want to scold them, but Christians don’t vote as much as they should. They are not big voters (…) People who own guns and rifles are not big voters. They have to vote. If they don’t vote, we’re not going to win the election. If they do vote, we’re going to win in a landslide,” Trump said at the Believers’ Summit, a faith-focused event being held in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He also reiterated on several occasions the “enormous” power that Christians have and asked that religious group to give a “chance” to the Republican Party.
“They have to go out, at least in this election. Just give us the opportunity and take us to that beautiful White House. Vote for your congressmen and senators. We will change this country for the better.”said the tycoon.
However, he noted that his second term would be so successful that they would not have to vote in the next election. “We will solve everything so well that they will not have to vote again.“, he stressed.
From the stage, Trump again described the vice president and Democratic candidate, Kamala Harrisas a radical leftist extremist and called her too liberal on immigration and abortion.
Trump has described himself as the opposite figure, saying he would seal the border on his first day in office and supporting abortion regulations.
He also thanked conservative Supreme Court justices, including the three he appointed during his 2017-2021 term, for overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling that protected abortion nationwide in 2022.
However, the former president noted that he supported exceptions to abortion restrictions in cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is in danger, and, according to The New York Times, he was booed by the audience when he qualified that point.
