The political and economic power of white evangelicals
Manage episode 409001255 series 1319466
Today we’re talking about a key voting bloc in this year’s elections: white evangelical Christian voters. In 2016 and 2020, they helped Donald Trump rise to power. NPR’s Sarah McCammon, author of “Exvangelicals,” discusses why evangelicals continue to back Trump, her personal journey leaving evangelicalism and the economic systems built around the evangelical movement.
We’ll also talk about the Maryland bridge collapse and the state of U.S. infrastructure. Plus, Neil King Jr., author of the memoir “American Ramble,” answers the Make Me Smart question.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
-
- “Why White Evangelicals Stuck with Trump” from the University of Chicago Divinity School
-
- “Latinos Will Determine the Future of American Evangelicalism” from The Atlantic
-
- “Bridge Collapse in Baltimore Puts an Election Year Spotlight on Infrastructure” from The New York Times
