Evangelical voters at the conference can expect to hear appeals from the billionaire as he looks to shore up votes before a November general election against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump has had difficulty winning over some traditional Republican voters of faith, according to an [_NBC News_ report](http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/critical-moment-trump-courts-skeptical-evangelicals-n588991), and many evangelicals lent their support during the primaries to other candidates like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz or Dr. Ben Carson. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4364420/watch-donald-trump-speak-at-the-faith-and-freedom-conference/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4364420/watch-donald-trump-speak-at-the-faith-and-freedom-conference/"},"headline":"Watch Donald Trump Speak at the Faith and Freedom Conference","datePublished":"2016-06-10T16:10:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:31:31.949Z","description":"Trump is looking to win the evangelical vote","url":"https://time.com/4364420/watch-donald-trump-speak-at-the-faith-and-freedom-conference/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","Religion","faith","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4364420/watch-donald-trump-speak-at-the-faith-and-freedom-conference/","name":"Watch Donald Trump Speak at the Faith and Freedom Conference"}}]}] ```
