President Trump told religious leaders that 'we have a tremendous year coming up' and that the U.S. would beat coronavirus 'soon,' while seeming to implore people of faith to support him in his re-election.
Trump made the remarks in a call with religious figures ahead of the Easter and Passover holidays. NBC News was not invited to participate but reviewed a recording of the call.
"The president says we will defeat the coronavirus, and we'll come back stronger than ever before, and it'll be the faith of the American people that laid the foundation for that great, great comeback," Pence said. Trump praised one of those leaders, evangelical leader Franklin Graham, for the work his group Samaritan Purse's work setting up a field hospital in Central Park.
"Mr. President, we want to thank you and the vice president for your leadership, our country would be in trouble," Graham said."If you were not the president, I just shudder to think where we would be."
