US Christian Right remains attached to Donald Trump

Significance

The movement expanded its political influence during Donald Trump's presidency and a central question for Republicans now is how far its loyalty remains attached to Trump individually rather than to the party.

Impacts

• Polls show that evangelicals overwhelmingly support a Trump presidential candidacy in 2024.
• The Christian Right accounts for 15-18% of the eligible voting population, similar in size to the African-American and Hispanic communities.
• Changing demographics may temper the movement's political orientation, but not in the short-to-medium term.
