At the Road to the Majority conference in Washington, DC, conservative Christians explained why they continue to support President Trump despite his personal behavior. Many attendees expressed the belief that they are not voting for a pastor, but rather for a leader who can effectively govern the country. They acknowledged that everyone has broken the Ten Commandments at some point and emphasized the importance of looking at the bigger picture when it comes to choosing a political leader. This sentiment reflects a common perspective among evangelical voters who prioritize policy outcomes over personal morality when making their voting decisions.

A prominent Texas Republican, Dan Patrick, has announced his intention to introduce a bill similar to one in Louisiana that would require public schools to display the Ten Commandments. Patrick, who serves as the lieutenant governor of Texas, plans to introduce Bill 1515 in the next session of the state senate, which he presides over. This bill would mandate the display of the biblical commandments in all classrooms across the state. Patrick's proposal is part of a broader effort to promote religious values in public schools.
