(ChurchLeaders) After the Electoral College voted on Monday to approve Joe Biden as president, prominent evangelicals for Trump have publicly acknowledged the sitting president’s loss. Leaders who have accepted Trump’s defeat include Franklin Graham and Dr. Albert Mohler, the latter of whom implied the president has set a precedent for “a poisonous cycle in our politics.”
“It is no secret that I was disappointed in the way that the election turned out,” said Mohler, stating that it is important to be sure that votes are counted accurately. However, speaking in his podcast, “The Briefing, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president also said, “Once votes are made in the United States, it is virtually impossible that they become unmade. You’re looking at the fact, and this has been basically an acknowledged reality of electoral politics on both sides of the aisle for decades.”
