Summary
Three progressive Democratic Senate candidates—Angie Nixon, Abdul El-Sayed, and James Talarico—are using their faith in campaign messaging, drawing comparisons to the GOP’s “Moral Majority” movement. Nixon, who defeated a Trump impeachment witness, linked her policies to Jesus’ radicalism. El-Sayed, a Muslim candidate, said Jesus was also seen as radical. Talarico, running in Texas, has taken seminary classes and argued God is non-binary. Republicans have criticized their faith-based approaches, especially on social issues.
