The President was hit with bad news as he started losing some members of his core group of supporters—the evangelicals turn on Trump
There’s a new trend of pastors avoiding politics and helping supporters disengage from MAGA and a group called “Leaving MAGA” that is quickly growing in numbers.
John Iadarola and Sharon Reed break it down on The Damage Report.

Driving the news: Some churches are seeing a “quiet quitting” trend as pastors avoid political sermons and help members disengage from Trump’s movement — without ostracizing family members who might still be MAGA devotees.
“We’ve gotten more testimonials. I’m starting to now see ‘Leaving MAGA’ signs popping up on billboards, overpasses, and [at] No Kings protests,” said Rich Logis, a Catholic ex-Trump supporter who founded a group called Leaving MAGA.
Catch up quick: Images of federal agents grabbing U.S. citizens or unauthorized immigrants who were picking up children from school have jolted some evangelicals who backed Trump in 2024.”
