Trump woos evangelicals at anti-abortion rallyDonald Trump gave up some of his precious “executive time” on Friday to speak at the annual March for Life in Washington. Ronald Reagan and George W Bush both delivered speeches remotely but didn’t get so far as actually showing up in person. Trump got 81% of the white Christian evangelical vote in the 2016 election; if he loses this base he’ll have a hard time getting re-elected. Trump hasn’t lost favour with the family values crowd yet, but there are some small signs that his popularity among evangelicals may be growing more fragile. Last month influential evangelical magazine Christianity Today called for Trump’s removal from office following impeachment.
