election 2024
Do evangelicals make up that large share of the electorate compared to Black, Hispanic and union voters? The short answer is: no. White born-again or evangelical Christians made up 24 percent of the electorate in the 2022 elections, according to the media consortium exit poll conducted for CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS. Black (11 percent) and Latino (11 percent) voters and those from a union household (18 percent) combined to comprise 40 percent of the vote.
A second exit poll, conducted for Fox News, The Associated Press, and The Wall Street Journal broke out voters who were union members (11 percent) and voters who had a union member in their household (6 percent), but the end result was the same.

June 25, 2023: BollyInside:Trump appeals to evangelical voters in crucial 2024 GOP performance
Former President Donald Trump addressed evangelical Christian voters at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Policy Conference in Washington. He emphasized the importance of the federal government’s role in restricting abortion but did not specify any legislation he would support. Trump has avoided answering whether he would sign a federal abortion ban. The conference served as an opportunity for GOP presidential hopefuls to appeal to evangelical voters, who have significant influence in key primary states like Iowa and South Carolina. Trump highlighted his appointment of three Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. This was Trump’s first in-person appearance at a 2024 presidential hopefuls gathering.
