Evangelical leader promises 'most ambitious' voter mobilization in community's history for Trump

Ralph Reed, head of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, promised the “most ambitious and far-reaching voter mobilization effort” in the evangelical community’s history as it rallies in support of President Trump’s reelection campaign, The Washington Times reports.

Reed said plans are in the works to register 1 million evangelical voters, knock on 3 million doors and put literature in more than 117,000 churches in key states. He hopes to contact roughly 30 million people in the effort, the Times reports.


“It’s going to be roughly three times the level of what we did in 2016,” he said.

Roughly 80 percent of self-identified white, born-again or evangelical Christians said they voted for Trump in the 2016 election, according to the Pew Research Center.
