Although many US evangelicals are backing Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has supporters among them too.

‘Evangelicals for Biden’ has rebranded as ‘Evangelicals for Harris’ in an effort to mobilise Christian voters for her campaign. The group argues that her faith ‘shines through in her clear Christian values displayed in her unwavering support for American families.’

A recent advert produced by the group juxtaposed video excerpts of Billy Graham reading 2 Timothy 3:1-5 with video extracts of Donald Trump speaking. Each segment of the Scripture reading by Graham then cuts to Trump saying something which would appear to be in direct contradiction of the quoted segment of the word of God.
