    Trump has long cultivated strong support among Christian conservatives. He got about 80 percent of the white evangelical Christian vote in 2016 and 2020, and appears to be on track for a similar result this year. In the closing days of the campaign, some of his supporters have characterized Harris with terms like “devil” and “Antichrist.” Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez joins John Yang to discuss.

John Yang speaks with The 19th’s reproductive health reporter Shefali Luthra for more.

    Haitians try to flee increasingly inescapable gang violence

    E308 - 6m 33s

    Haitian immigrants have found themselves at the center of a political storm this fall, as former President Trump and his supporters repeatedly make unfounded claims about them. Most came to the United States to escape the humanitarian crisis in Haiti, brought on by wide-scale gang violence. Ali Rogin reports on how Haitian leaders are trying to restore the rule of law in their country.
