Impeached United States President Trump
The leader of an
Apostolic Megachurch, Pastor Guillermo Maldonado, will host the launch of
President Donald Trump's "Evangelicals for Trump" coalition at a
January 3 rally, The Miami Herald reports.
Why it matters: Since
Christianity Today released an editorial op-ed calling for Trump's removal from
office, the president has been working to strengthen his evangelical base. The
rally at Maldonado's West Kendall Church is part of that strategy and also
gives him access to one of the country's largest Hispanic congregations, per
the Herald.
The West Kendall Church
for years has been a popular campaign stop for political candidates interested
in wooing Hispanic voters, The Miami Herald writes.
Maldonado is a Honduran
immigrant who goes by the title "apostle."
Maldonado is close to
Trump and was present when the president signed an executive order protecting
free speech and religious liberty.
Maldonado is "a
somewhat controversial figure in Miami politics and religion," the Miami
Herald writes.
There have been stories
of Maldonado performing miracles, such as reviving a woman who had been in the
morgue for an hour, according to local TV station WPLG.
He supported Sen. John
McCain during the 2008 presidential race. (Miami Herald)
