In a packed arena in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump officials and prominent members of the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement gathered to remember the late rightwing activist Charlie Kirk. His widow, Erika Kirk, as well as Donald Trump and many of his cabinet members gave speeches weaving politics with evangelical conservative Christianity. ‘We need to bring back religion to America,’ the US president told the crowd, while vice-president JD Vance said: ‘I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public. I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have my entire time in public life’
