Let's not pretend it's only Evangelical Christians who support Trump. He got 58% of the Protestants, 52% of the Catholics, and 61% of the Mormons (if you consider them to be Christian). He could not have taken office without their votes, and they should not be deprived of their fair share of the credit for his disastrous presidency.

I don't know what the numbers were for 2020, but I doubt it was much different.
