Trump vows to create Faith Office with access to Oval Office: ‘It’s important’

SAVANNAH, Georgia — Former President Donald Trump has vowed to give faith leaders a direct line of access to him in the Oval Office should he be elected next week.

Trump promised in an interview at the National Faith Summit in Powder Springs, Georgia, Monday afternoon that he would reinstate the Faith Office that he created during his first term in office, touting the importance of religion in the United States.

“What happens in the second term, a faith office, what’s your administration look like?” asked moderator Paula White-Cain, founder of the National Faith Advisory Board.

“First of all, we’re going to set that up, and we’ll be talking to you and all of the people that we just met, and anybody else that you think is appropriate well,” said Trump. “It’s important, and it’ll be directly into the Oval Office.”

White-Cain, a Pentecostal pastor, was tapped in January 2020 to oversee the Faith Office during Trump’s final year in office.

Ensuring religious freedom for everyone was paramount, Trump said.

“We have to save religion in this country. I mean, honestly, religion is under threat in this country, serious threat, and we can’t let that happen,” said Trump. “It’s sort of the fabric of our country. It’s the thing that holds our country together. We can’t, we can’t lose it. We’re not going to lose it.”

Trump terminated the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships after taking office in 2017. In 2021, President Joe Biden reinstated that office.

Trump reflected on going to church and Sunday School in Queens, New York, as a child and attending a church in Manhattan in his adult years.

Last month, Trump announced Dr. Ben Carson, the former housing and urban development secretary, as his campaign’s national faith chairman.
