Former US President and 2024 Presidential candidate Donald Trump's Iowa campaign received a spiritual boost as he was blessed by over 150 faith leaders and pastors in Cedar Rapids. The prayer session took place just before Trump took the stage at his "Save America" rally, where he continued to criticize President Joe Biden and assert that the 2020 election was rigged.

The prayer group leader expressed their support, saying, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against him. We are talking about this for him. Lord, I pray for protection for him; I pray for protection for his family." The gathering of pastors and faith leaders demonstrated their unwavering commitment to Trump and the values important to people of faith.

Pastor Dan McCoy, Senior Baptist Church Pastor First in Urbandale, emphasized the support from Iowa's faith leaders as a powerful message, stating, "This announcement is not just a number; it's a powerful message that faith communities trust President Trump to lead our nation forward with moral integrity and clarity."

Following the blessings from the faith leaders, Trump took the stage and launched into his critique of President Biden, calling him "the destroyer of American democracy." Trump went on to assert that Jesus and God would declare him the 2024 US President and race winner, confidently claiming, "I think if you had a real election and Jesus came down and God came down and said, 'I'm gonna be the scorekeeper here,' I think we'd win there, I think we'd win in Illinois, and I think we'd win in New York."

In addition to his campaign event, Trump received a warm reception at the Whiskey River Bar in Iowa. A massive crowd gathered to cheer and take selfies with the twice-impeached President, showing their continued support.

The latest polls indicate that Trump is leading among other Republican candidates in the 2024 primary polls, including Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy, with a significant 60 percent lead.

As Trump continues his campaign in Iowa, his blessings from faith leaders and strong poll numbers suggest he may be a formidable contender in the upcoming presidential race, keeping supporters hopeful for his return to the White House.
