Rev. Franklin Graham Urges Voters to Reflect on Party Differences
Rev. Franklin Graham is encouraging Americans to “look prayerfully at what both parties stand for.” This comes just under two weeks before Election Day, and his message has gained traction on social media. Graham, known for his support of conservative values, outlined some significant differences between the Republican and Democratic parties in a post aimed at helping potential voters.
“Do you know who to vote for in the midterms? Let me give you some help, but you decide,” Graham stated, pointing out that Democrats stand for policies such as open borders and taxpayer-funded benefits for noncitizens.
He noted, “The Democratic Party wants open borders, while the Republican Party wants secure borders. The Democrats support voting rights for noncitizens; Republicans call for voter ID laws.” He continued to explain that the Democratic Party seeks to extend taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits to noncitizens, while Republicans oppose this. “And there are a hundred more issues,” he emphasized.
Graham concluded his message with a reminder to carefully consider what both parties represent in this election.
This call to action comes as the midterm elections approach, where Democrats aim to secure a majority in both the Senate and House, potentially obstructing President Donald Trump’s America First agenda and initiating legal challenges in the latter portion of his presidency.
The Cook Political Report lists seven Senate races as toss-ups, including a notable contest in Texas between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, who has publicly made controversial statements regarding faith. The Senate race in Kansas is similarly competitive, featuring incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Democrat Pastor Adam Hamilton, who has expressed views that diverge from traditional Christian beliefs, including skepticism about the necessity of knowing Jesus for salvation.
Additionally, on the House side, the Cook Political Report notes 21 races are considered toss-ups, with some Democratic candidates openly identifying as socialists, like Melat Kiros in Colorado, who advocates for a Trans Bill of Rights and promotes extreme views on abortion.
Graham’s identification of issues like opposition to voter ID laws and immigration enforcement reflects a broader consensus among Democratic candidates—from socialists to so-called moderates—indicating a unified stance on certain core policies.
