Clergy Democrats Help Party Flip Congress in Midterms

Democratic candidates with an unapologetically Christian "love your neighbor" message helped their party flip control of Congress in the midterms. In Texas, seminarian James Talarico defeated Republican Ken Paxton to win a U.S. Senate seat, ending more than 30 years without a statewide Democratic victory. Megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton in Kansas and Iowa ministers Sarah Trone Garriott and Lindsay James also flipped key seats.
