After months of prayer, Donald J. Trump will become the 47th President of the United States in an overwhelming and historic victory.
Despite claims that the election results would be neck and neck, President Trump quickly showed a considerable lead over Kamala Harris, culminating in a sweeping win that was called shortly after 1 PM (EST) after several swing states were officially called in his favor.
The triumph concluded an immensely turbulent election season, which included two assassination attempts against the former President in July and September. Trump, in his victory speech, referenced failed attempts on his life as God’s providence.
“Many people have told me that God spares my life for a reason,” he described, underscoring his belief that it was God’s will that he lead the country back from the precipice of collapse.
Trusted Christian leaders have worked tirelessly in recent months to combat a concerning trend of low voter turnout among evangelicals, highlighting the numerous Biblical issues at stake on the ballot.
Earlier on Tuesday, Franklin Graham underscored why a Trump victory would be an incredible answer to prayer for Christians. Calling the election “the most important election in the history of our nation,” Graham emphasized that if Trump were to be elected, “there’s going to be millions of unborn children that will be protected in the next four years.”
“The military is going to be protected. The borders are going to be protected in the next four years. Freedom of speech is going to be protected. Freedom of religion is going to be upheld,” he stressed, adding God is the ultimate authority on who will lead the nation.
Following Trump’s remarkable victory, Graham wrote on social media: “Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on being elected the 47th president of the United States of America! I pray that you will look to God every day for His guidance and wisdom.”
One key issue heavily on the minds of evangelical voters surrounded US support for Israel. America’s friendship with the Jewish State has been severely damaged under the Biden Administration, which has placed unrelenting pressure on Israel during its war following the Hamas massacre on October 7th.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on Wednesday morning with a bold criticism of the outgoing administration.
“Dear Donald and Melania Trump, Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!” Netanyahu exclaimed. “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship, yours, Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu.”
