- Texas Democrat James Talarico studied theology and has made his Christian identity central to his Senate campaign.
- Religion researcher Brad Onishi says Talarico’s theological knowledge and New Testament language are showing evangelicals a new path.
- Evangelical influencers including Josh Howerton and Allie Beth Stuckey attack Talarico’s faith, calling him a false teacher or demonic.
- A Billy Graham Center Research Institute study found nearly half of Gen Z respondents agreed that Christian support for Trump reduced church attendance.
As a young evangelical we were taught repeatedly and clearly: It is not possible to be a Christian and a Democrat.— Brad Onishi, a research associate at the University of California, Berkeley and co-host of the 'Straight White American Jesus' podcast, told me.

- A study published last year found that 94 of 268 specialists were no longer practicing during the ban’s first two years.
- About half of Idaho’s 44 counties have no practicing obstetrician-gynecologist.
- Health professionals say this means longer waits, higher costs and less preventive-care access for all Idahoans, not only pregnant people.
Most of what obstetricians do is not obstetrics.— Dr. Edward McEachern, who led the study on the impact of Idaho's abortion ban on obstetric care.
