How Christians Can Protect the Midterms From Trump's Interference

I need to level with you: The 2026 midterms are not a normal election.

Faith groups like Sojourners have long talked about the importance of elections. I have written about elections extensively in the past. But this year is different.

Specifically, there is a great risk that the Trump administration and its allies will attempt to disrupt or deny the election results; these attempts could very well succeed if we don’t act—or if they create enough chaos and fear to deter people from voting. It’s critical that Christians commit to pushing back on these attempts with faith-inspired activism—not just up to Election Day, but all the way through the seating of a new Congress on Jan. 3.
