BBC | Trump and the Evangelical Vote

Donald Trump predicted that if he won the votes of America’s evangelical Christians he would win the election, and he was right.

A quarter of all voters count themselves as evangelical and 81% of them voted for Trump, despite the deep misgivings and public disagreements among Christian leaders over whether their conscience would allow them to endorse him. 

Jane Little speaks to four leading evangelical leaders about how they define evangelical Christianity, their hopes and misgivings for the Trump presidency, what role Christian teachings will now play in shaping the country and whether we are in a new era for the religious right in the United States.

Listen to the episode at Trump and the Evangelical Vote.
