This rightwing evangelical was one of Trump’s biggest backers. Why isn’t he talking about the midterms?

What happened: At an "As One" weekend event for paying partners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Lance Wallnau spoke across three sessions about El Salvador's prison system, school boards, and the movement's future. The midterms, then little more than three weeks away, were not mentioned once. Why it matters: Wallnau, one of the first prominent rightwing evangelicals to back Trump in 2015, privately shied away from rallying supporters for the Republican party before the midterms, urging them to focus elsewhere, including emulating El Salvador and Poland and finding a successor for Charlie Kirk.
