The 2024 presidential election is just two weeks away. As millions of American Christians prepare to vote, many are asking the most familiar question: “What would Jesus do?”
According to one group known as “Evangelicals for Harris,” our Lord and Savior would most certainly mark His ballot for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Their website boldly declares, with no hint of irony detected, that:
“No political party or leader can ever hold our full devotion. That belongs to Jesus alone. As we approach this election, our hearts are drawn to a path that reflects His teachings…This isn’t just a vote; it’s a reflection of our faith.
In this election, the choice is clear: Kamala Harris.”
Evangelicals for Harris is a non-profit subsidiary of Faith Voters, an astroturf organization that previously ran Evangelicals for Biden. There is no easily accessible public record of Faith Voters’ leadership or financial backing, but perhaps Megan Basham could do some digging.
Wherever the money is coming from, the purpose is obvious. Evangelicals for Harris was created to dupe evangelical voters—who have previously voted in overwhelming numbers for Donald Trump—into supporting the most anti-Christian candidate and platform we’ve ever seen in America. It’s a “fake” campaign trying to create the illusion of a “grassroots” effort by “good faith” evangelicals to support Kamala Harris. NPR recently promoted them because, of course, they would. The group also focuses explicitly on swing states.
While a handful of evangelical elites like Ray Ortlund have voluntarily publicly endorsed Harris, and others like the After Party have attempted to confuse and depress the evangelical vote, Evangelicals for Harris is aimed explicitly at convincing evangelicals that there are dozens of them voting for Harris.
They try to claim that Kamala Harris believes in Jesus Christ, is a deeply committed and faithful Christian, and champions biblically inspired, pro-family policies. Her record proves otherwise. As one of the most radical politicians in America, nearly every policy decision she has made has been anti-Christian. She even went so far as to tell some attendees who shouted “Jesus is Lord” at a recent campaign event that they were “at the wrong rally.” https://centerforbaptistleadership.org/meet-the-evangelicals-for-harris/
