THE political campaign group Evangelicals for America, in the United States, has apologised for its suggestive use of footage of the late evangelist Billy Graham in an advertisement critical of President Trump. Formerly known as Evangelicals for Harris, the rebranded group has taken down the 2024 election campaign advert that spliced Graham’s words with quotations from Donald Trump at his political rallies.

It continued: “We have continued dialogue with BGEA since the election, and we affirm its position that Rev.
