At a recent event organized by the conservative group Turning Point Action in Florida, Republican nominee Donald Trump made a bold promise to Christian voters: if they support him in the upcoming November presidential election, he will ensure they won’t need to vote again.
Addressing the audience, Trump said, “Christians, you have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. 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.”
The former president, who is currently facing charges related to inciting the 2020 Capitol riots and allegedly attempting to overturn his 2022 election defeat, left many questioning the meaning behind his remarks.
The campaign for Kamala Harris, who replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee last week, did not directly respond to Trump’s comments. However, Harris’ spokesperson Jason Singer described Trump’s speech as “bizarre” and “backward-looking.”
Earlier, Trump had stated that he would act as a dictator for a day to secure the southern border with Mexico if re-elected. He later downplayed this statement, calling it a joke.
The presidential race has become increasingly competitive with Harris entering the fray, significantly narrowing Trump’s lead according to recent opinion polls.
The coming months will reveal whether Trump’s promises will resonate with voters and influence the outcome of the election.
