Billy Graham's granddaughter urges evangelicals not to support Trump

Jerushah Duford, granddaughter of evangelical icon Billy Graham, on Thursday criticized President Trump for his "attempt to hijack our faith."
"Trump’s attempt to hijack our faith for votes, and the evangelical leaders' silence on his actions and behavior, has presented a picture of what our faith looks like — that’s so erroneous it's done significant damage to the way people view Jesus," she said on a press call through the group Not Our Faith, a PAC that focuses on faith voters.
Duford, who is also part of the group Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden and endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden for president last week, also predicted Trump will lose evangelical support in the November election.
"I do think we're going to see a difference in the polls this time around, partly because I think a lot of people in 2016 went to vote kind of crossing their fingers, maybe holding their breath, hoping I make the right choice here," she said.
"And I don't think anybody really realized the damage that would actually happen," she continued. "Now that we've had four years of it, I think people, they might have recognized it before slightly, but now they're deeply familiar with it."
