Conservative Pastors Denounce Democratic Campaigns to 16,000 Worshippers as Election Day Nears

Summary
Robert Jeffress plans to use his Sunday sermon at First Baptist Dallas to warn 16,000 congregants against what he calls Democrats’ “false” or “toxic” faith.
Jeffress said his Tower of Babel message carries parallels to the election and singled out Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, as spiritually misleading despite seeming harmless.
Conservative evangelical pastors nationwide are expected to deliver similar pulpit messages aimed at steering churchgoers toward right-wing candidates and ballot causes on Election Day.
The push comes as Democrats increasingly frame their own campaigns in religious terms, turning faith appeals into a sharper front in the closing stretch of the election.
