President Donald Trump spoke out about the importance of Christians voting in Pennsylvania early Monday as the state’s voter registration deadline nears.
Monday is the last day of voter registration in the must-win state, the 45th president highlighted in multiple Truth Social posts.
“Christians are under attack from this Administration, but many are still not registered! Tomorrow is the last day to register in Pennsylvania. Register now and vote early!!” Trump wrote in one post, linking to his campaign’s Swamp the Vote website.
A second post noted, “Christians must register to VOTE now. This is the last day to do so. Our Country is at stake! God Bless You All!”
The statements follow several efforts in recent days by Trump to appeal to Christian voters. He notably also appeared at Thursday’s Al Smith dinner, a fundraising event hosted by Catholic Charities of New York.
Vice President Kamala Harris did not attend, breaking with the tradition of the presidential candidates of both major parties going back to the 1980s.
“My opponent feels like she does not have to be here, which is deeply disrespectful to the event, and in particular to our great Catholic community. Very disrespectful,” Trump said during the event.
Trump also continues to extend outreach to Christian voters beyond Pennsylvania. He recently announced a Believers and Ballots Town Hall with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in Zebulon, Georgia that will be held on Wednesday.
“President Trump has been a vocal defender of religious freedom and an unwavering supporter of Jewish communities. The Trump administration took action to confront antisemitism head-on with an executive order that enforces civil rights laws to vigorously protect Jewish Americans from discrimination and harassment,” his campaign said in a statement.
“President Trump’s dedication to protecting religious liberties was also evident when he updated federal guidance to preserve students’ right to pray in public schools—a right that had not been revisited since 2003. Under President Trump’s leadership, the government reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that religious freedom remains a cornerstone of the nation,” it added.
The statement also noted Trump’s 2017 executive order to advance religious freedom and his protection of faith communities, including through combating antisemitism or defending the rights of Christians.
