"It'll be fixed": Trump tells Christians they won't have to vote again

Driving the news: Speaking to a conservative Christian crowd at Turning Point Action's Believers Summit in West Palm Beach Friday, Trump said, "Four more years, it'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

• The former commander-in-chief continued: "In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not going to have to vote."
• He spent roughly an hour attempting to appeal to conservative Christians, vowing to safeguard religious liberty and characterizing religious Americans as the "soul of our country."
• He also promised he would cut federal funding for schools "pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content."

Catch up quick: Trump and his allies have repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was stolen or rigged and have threatened legal probes into political opponents should he win the 2024 election.

• President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, have argued Trump poses a threat to democracy.
• The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity further bolstered Democratic concern over Trump's signature election denialism.

The other side: In response to Trump's recent comments, the Harris campaign described the country's democracy as "under assault by criminal Donald Trump."

• Speaking to ABC News, Harris for President spokesperson James Singer said, "Donald Trump wants to take America backward, to a politics of hate, chaos, and fear – this November America will unite around Vice President Kamala Harris to stop him."

The bottom line: Trump and his surrogates have painted a picture of an inflated executive branch that would be staffed with loyalists and armed with a more centralized, expanded breadth of power.
