Trump tells Christian audience they 'won't have to vote anymore' after 2024

Addressing the Turning Point Action Believers' Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, on July 26, 2024, Trump told the conservative Christian audience: "Christians get out and vote, just this one time. You won't have to do it anymore ... 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." Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said Trump "was talking about unifying the country" and "the importance of faith," while Sen. Tom Cotton called it "obviously" a joke about how much conditions would improve. Cornell democracy scholar Rachel Beatty Riedl said the remarks were "consistent with authoritarian rhetoric and practices around the world" and amounted to "clear evidence of an agenda to reject democratic principles and electoral alternation."
