Understanding Trump’s Evangelical Base with NPR’s Sarah McCammon

Over the last 40 years, evangelical Christians have become an influential voting block. White evangelical support for Donald Trump exceeded 80 percent in the 2016 election. The intensifying politicization of the evangelical movement has been too much for some, and many are leaving the church. To understand the voting patterns of evangelicals and the exodus of young evangelicals, Errin chats with Sarah McCammon, a national political correspondent for NPR and author of “The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church.” Follow Sarah McCammon on X @sarahmccammon and Instagram @sarahmccammon_journalist Follow The 19th on Instagram, Facebook, X and via our newsletters.
