He criticized what he termed the ‘increasing persecution’ Christian groups are facing, stating, ‘We will not allow anyone to attack our faith or the faith of our people.’ Trump’s remarks came as he seeks to galvanize support among conservative Christians in his quest for a second term in the White House. He highlighted specific instances where he believed Christians have been discriminated against, calling it an urgent issue for his campaign. Moreover, Trump asserted that his administration had already taken steps to protect religious freedoms during his presidency, reinforcing his commitment to these values. The National Prayer Breakfast served as a platform for Trump to connect with faith leaders while also addressing broader concerns about religion in politics. He was joined at the event by numerous notable figures in the religious community, emphasizing ongoing dialogues about faith-based initiatives and the role of Christianity in American society. This campaign announcement comes amidst a filled schedule leading up to the 2025 presidential elections, as Trump positions himself to reclaim the White House amid competition from various candidates in the Republican primaries.
