Core Event
At a Republican midterm convention interview with broadcaster Erick Stakelbeck, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins described the Trump-aligned administration as “a group of warriors” guided by divine support. She asserted that God backs the government’s agenda and warned that losing Republican control in upcoming elections would threaten the nation’s future. Rollins said she leads weekly cabinet Bible studies and frames policy goals—border security, education, health care, and agricultural support—as “biblical” imperatives.
Background & Context
Rollins previously served in several roles during the first Trump administration. After that term, she and other Trump allies founded the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), which has been instrumental in staffing the second Trump administration. In her current role, Rollins continues to blend religious language with policy advocacy, positioning the department’s work within a Christian nationalist framework.
Official Statements & Responses
Rollins emphasized that she “feels God’s presence” in the West Wing and that the administration’s successes are evidence of divine favor. She linked biblical narratives to contemporary policy, stating that securing the border, prioritizing children’s education, and supporting farmers are all “biblical” objectives. Rollins warned that “socialist” Democrats who “don’t believe in God” pose an existential threat, urging voters to keep Republicans in power to prevent “the darkness” from overtaking the nation.
