In a 75-minute rally-style address — but with more religious overtones — Trump touted his record on social issues and noted that the evangelical vote helped power his improbable victory in 2016, proclaiming: “We’re gonna blow those numbers away in 2020.”
“Evangelicals . . . have never had a greater champion, not even close in the White House, than you have right now,” Trump told a racially diverse crowd of thousands at El Rey Jesús in Miami. …
The Pew Research Center’s 2018 national survey of Latinos found that 36 percent of Hispanic evangelical Christians approved of Trump’s job performance in summer and early fall of that year — a figure that was just about half the level of approval Pew has found among white evangelical Protestants, which was 69 percent in early 2019 and similar in more recent polling.
