(ChurchLeaders) Four years ago, influential Southern Baptist leader Rev. Albert Mohler was one of evangelical Christianity’s strongest opponents of presidential candidate Donald Trump. Now Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, reveals that he’ll vote for Trump this November because of his conservative leadership record. Mohler adds that he intends to vote Republican for the rest of his life, as long as the GOP platform continues to oppose abortion and support religious liberty.
Mohler shared this news Monday during an “Ask Anything” segment of a T4G (Together for the Gospel) livestream. He also admits “a bit of regret” for giving his 2016 vote “minimal importance” by casting it for a third-party candidate.
