Evangelical Group to Spend $62 Million on Trump’s Re-Election Bid

You see, the Left is not concerned about the mingling of church and state as it is the church and the cause. If the right kinds of churches support the right causes, there is nothing to see here, and you should move on. But I doubt the Left will be so dismissive of Ralph Reed and the organization Faith and Freedom.

Politico notes that the group has budgeted $62 million to get evangelicals to the polls for the 2024 election. Efforts will include voter registration, texts, calls, door-knocking, and handing out literature at an estimated 125,000 churches. In 2020, Faith and Freedom spent approximately $52 million. The operation should be working at full steam sometime in mid-July. To Reed’s knowledge, it is the largest such effort ever undertaken, with some 10,000 staffers and volunteers hitting the streets. Or pews. Faith and Freedom will handle the lion’s share of the work as it is a 501(c)(4) organization. The balance would be taken up by Americans of Faith, which operates under 501(c)(3) status. Neither type of group can directly advocate for a specific candidate, but a 501(c)(4) operates under fewer restrictions.
