This week, the Republican party held its first-ever midterm convention, attempting to energize voters ahead of the November midterm elections. While President Trump’s approval ratings have been declining, he maintains influence over the Republican Party and candidates. As voters approach the ballot, potentially deciding between a Republican candidate aligned with Trump or a Democratic candidate, we’re re-airing highlights from our 2024 miniseries, Stop. Look. Listen. In this series, Mike Cosper interviewed three Christians who decided to vote for different presidential candidates. Listen in as David French shares why he voted for Kamala Harris, Eric Teetsel explains why he voted for Donald Trump, and Matthew Martens discusses why he voted for a third party candidate. They share how they approach voting, and how they wrestled with candidates with whom they significantly disagree.
