Biden looks to make inroads with evangelical voters
By Justine Coleman - 08/16/20 08:00 AM EDT
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is seeking to make inroads with evangelical voters, a demographic that overwhelmingly sided with President Trump during the 2016 election.
Team Biden doesn’t think it can win over all evangelicals or even a majority, but it does think it can slice off some of them from Trump’s coalition by emphasizing the former vice president’s personal faith and values.
At the Democratic National Convention, Biden’s campaign will hold an interfaith service on Aug. 16 and a Believers for Biden watch party ahead of the candidate’s acceptance speech it set for Aug. 20, according to a Biden adviser.
The Democratic National Committee will also host two interfaith council meetings during the week.
