Prominent evangelical advocacy group, The Faith & Freedom Coalition, plans to spend a whopping $62 million to help former president Donald Trump take back the White House.
Politico reported that the group, led by Ralph Reed, will use the money to register evangelical voters.
The group’s efforts will also include knocking on doors, texting, and calling supporters.
The initiative will also include handing out 30 million pieces of literature in 125,000 churches in battleground states.
The group will be spending $10 million more than they did four years ago in the 2020 election cycle.
“In terms of home visits and voters reached at the door, to my knowledge it’s the largest effort on the right outside of the Republican National Committee ever,” Reed, also a longtime Republican strategist and Trump ally, told Politico.
The outlet reported:
“It also reveals the extent to which Trump may have to lean on outside groups like Reed’s for help. The former president is confronting a considerable financial disadvantage heading into the general election with President Joe Biden. He ended January with $30 million in the bank, only a little over half as much as Biden. The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, has just $8 million on hand, about one-third as much as its Democratic counterpart. Beyond that, conservative outside groups are up against a big constellation of liberal organizations that are flush with anti-Trump cash.”
Reed also noted that Trump won in 2016 despite facing a cash gap.
“In this business you’re paid to worry, and we certainly have seen in recent cycles — particularly in the statewide races and especially the Senate races — we’ve seen the spending gap become overwhelming, serious and debilitating,” Reed said.
Meanwhile, Trump is currently winning the support of 77 percent of evangelical voters who praise him for supporting Israel and for appointing three conservative jurists to the Supreme Court.
The news comes just weeks after Trump promised to stand against the “corrupt” judicial system, even if it means losing his freedom.
The Daily Fetched reported:
During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, on Saturday, Trump said:
“Biden and his deranged prosecutors, attorney generals, local district attorneys, are trying to take away my liberty; they’re trying to take it away; they’re trying to steal my liberty.”
“If there’s any shred of justice left they will fail and we will win and so far we’re doing very nicely, thank you.”
“But I would rather lose my freedom than surrender to this group of thugs, tyrants and fascist scoundrels,” he said.
“The more the corrupt establishment tries to stop us, the more you know the day is near at hand when we will break free from their grip. We’re gonna break free very soon,” Trump said.
