- It's certainly a battle for believers.
The Trump campaign took their message
to Las Vegas late last week
in the form of anEvangelicals for Trump event.
At the same time, theBiden campaign was holding
an online event of its own,
complete with prayerand passionate speeches.
Billed as a Believers forBiden National Call to Action,
Dr. Jill Biden emphasized her husband's
spiritual convictions whiledelivering a message of unity
- His faith is unshakable
because it's in the providence of God.
If you turn on the news,you will often hear
that our nation is more divided than ever.
The truth is that ourdifferences are precious
and our similarities are infinite.
- [Eric] A panel ofspiritual leaders explained
why people of all faiths shouldsupport a Biden candidacy.
- My Christian faith has been hijacked.
For those of us who are Christian,
it really is an opportunityto clearly state,
do we really believein the gospel of Jesus,
or are we just pretending?
- [Eric] Only hours before, the President
gave his depiction of what aBiden White House would do.
- Destroy your second amendment,no religion, no anything,
hurt the Bible, hurt God.
- [Eric] Biden fired offa response saying in part,
"For President Trump toattack my faith is shameful.
President Trump's decision to profane God
and to smear my faithin a political attack
is a stark reminder of what the stakes
of this fight truly are."
Trump saw strongevangelical support in 2016.
And his campaign is trying to ensure
that Democrats' efforts don't erode that.
- The only evangelicals whoare going to vote for Joe Biden
are those who have soldtheir soul to the devil
and accepted the Democrats'barbaric position on abortion.

- Joe Biden would supportpublic funding of abortions.
I just think that thechoice in this election
has never been clearer.
- [Eric] The Biden campaign,hoping to clearly convince
evangelicals to make a differentchoice than four years ago.
- We believe thatevangelicals and Catholics
are having a call, comehome to Jesus moment,
and beginning to realize that Donald Trump
is not a person of faith,not a person of God.
- The Biden campaignplans to continue holding
these believers meetings inthe run up to the election
because they understandthat if they win over
even a small percentageof the evangelical vote,
it could make all the difference.
