Kamala Harris’ campaign is speaking out about Donald Trump’s statement that if Christians vote in this election, they won’t have to do so again in four more years.
If you remember, former President Donald Trump concluded his nearly 75-minute speech on Friday night with a final appeal to Christians, promising that if they vote for him on Election Day, they would not have to vote again. “I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” Trump stated during Turning Point Action’s Believers Summit in West Palm Beach. “Christians, get out and vote just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed,” Trump said.

He added: “I love you, Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
Well, after Trump went viral for his speech on Friday, the Harris campaign has released a statement about his comments. “When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it. Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump,” Harris for President Spokesperson James Singer said. “Donald Trump wants to take America backward, to a politics of hate, chaos, and fear – this November America will unite around Vice President Kamala Harris to stop him.”
The event focused on the theme of divine intervention, with Trump emphasizing that prayer and the grace of God saved his life two weeks earlier when he was shot in an attempted assassination.
“We want to thank each and every one of the believers in this room for your prayers and your incredible support. I really did appreciate it. Something was working, that we know, something was working,” Trump opened his remarks. “I stand before you tonight, thanks to the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God.”
The Trump campaign issued a statement explaining the potential meaning behind the former president’s message to Christian voters. The campaign indicated that he was referring to the significance of faith, uniting the country, and fostering prosperity.
“President Trump was talking about the importance of faith, uniting this country and bringing prosperity to every American, as opposed to the divisive political environment that has sowed so much division and even resulted in an assassination attempt,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote in a statement.
