With controversies swirling around President Trump and the midterm elections approaching, many are asking, how will Evangelicals vote? Some believe values-voting Christians will stay home while others think issues like abortion, immigration, and religious liberty will be enough to drive them to the polls.
This hour we speak with reporters, election analysts, and religious leaders about the 2018 midterms and the Evangelical divide. We'll also take a look back at recent decades and ask how conservative and Evangelical values became so intertwined.
