The first crack in Donald Trump’s support among America’s so-called evangelical community emerged in January as a prominent Christian magazine called the President’s conduct ‘profoundly immoral’ and said that he should be removed from office.

Up to a quarter of US voters identify as evangelical Christians and they have been a foundation of President Trump’s support. He took over 80% of these voters in the 2016 election.

Leading figures have stood by him ever since, as he appointed conservative judges to the US Supreme Court.
