Trump frames election as fight for Christian values

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday attended the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville where he promised to defend Christianity against the “radical left.” Trump pledged to uphold religious liberty if reelected, as he claims he did during his first term in office.
