CNN —The arc of Rep. Mike Johnson’s career encapsulates the shifting priorities of the religious right in the era of Donald Trump.
More than half of White evangelicals agreed with that statement as well – the only major religious denomination in which it found majority support.
Yet both groups are much more influential inside the GOP coalition, with evangelicals representing nearly one-third of Republican voters and all White Christians about two-thirds.
But in Congress, Johnson has also identified more with some of the party’s Trump-era priorities that revolve around demographic change.
But each man appears equally committed to a vision of America that elevates the moral and political preferences of conservative White Christians over any other group.
