总统之一唐纳德·特朗普达拉斯最早和最坚定的福音派支持者，达拉斯牧师罗伯特·杰弗里斯，呼吁民主党乔·拜登当选总统。
在一个福克斯新闻专栏杰弗里斯似乎对现实情况并不欣喜若狂，称拜登的胜利是“难以下咽的苦果”，但他确实试图指导特朗普的其他支持者如何应对基督徒。
“这是我们证明基督徒不是伪君子的机会。我们侍奉一位留在宝座上的上帝，他统治着这个浩瀚宇宙的每一寸土地，”他写道。“我们侍奉一位爱我们的上帝，他永远不会离开或抛弃我们。现在我们有机会展示我们的基督徒见证人对这个世界的一致性和恒定性。
杰弗里斯写道:“当乔·拜登成为总统时，我们应该表扬他做得对的事情。”。“我们应该谴责他做错的事情。最重要的是，我们必须为我们的总统祈祷。如果拜登总统成功了，我们都会成功。愿上帝保佑乔·拜登，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。”
作为德克萨斯州最大的大型教堂之一达拉斯第一浸礼会的高级牧师，杰弗里斯在过去五年里一直是特朗普最引人注目的福音派支持者，也是白宫的常客，随后受到特朗普的高度赞扬，因为他把争取福音派作为他政治基础的重要组成部分。
特朗普在2017年表示:“牧师，你和艾米(杰弗里斯的妻子)从一开始就与我们站在一起，我将永远与你站在一起。”我告诉过你，我是认真的。我会永远和你在一起。我很感激。谢谢你。"
耶稣受难节的总统称杰弗里斯为“一个了不起的人，一个了不起的人”，因为他说他将几乎收听他的复活节礼拜。
在总统大选之后的几天里选举杰弗里斯为特朗普质疑结果的权利辩护。

白宫尚未承认特朗普的失败，总统继续对拜登周末被宣布为获胜者之前的欺诈行为提出毫无根据的指控。
Pastor Robert Jeffress, staunch Trump evangelical supporter, calls Biden president-elect
One of PresidentDonald Trump’s earliest and staunchest evangelical supporters, Dallas pastor Robert Jeffress, is calling DemocratJoe Bidenthe president-elect.
In aFox News columnJeffress did not seem overjoyed with the reality of the situation, calling Biden’s win a "bitter pill to swallow," but he did attempt to guide other Trump supporters on how Christians should respond.
"Here is our chance to show that Christians are not hypocrites. We serve a God who remains on His throne, sovereignly reigning over every square inch of this vast universe," he wrote. "We serve a God who loves us and will never leave or forsake us. And now we have the chance to show the consistency and constancy/ of our Christian witness to this world.
“When Joe Biden becomes president, we should commend him for the things he does right,” Jeffress wrote. “We should condemn the things he does wrong. And above all, we must pray fervently for our president. If President Biden succeeds, we all succeed. May God bless Joe Biden, and may God bless the United States of America.”
As the senior pastor of one of Texas’ biggest megachurches, First Baptist Dallas, Jeffress for the past five years has been Trump's most visible evangelical supporter, a frequent visitor to the White House and subsequently has received Trump’s high praise as he courted evangelicals as a critical part of his political base.
"Pastor, you and Amy [Jeffress’ wife] have stood with us from the very beginning and I will always stand with you," Trump said in 2017. "I told you that and I mean that. I will always be with you. I appreciate it. Thank you."
The president on Good Friday called Jeffress "a terrific guy, a terrific man” after saying that he would tune in to his Easter Sunday service virtually.
In the days immediately following the presidentialelectionJeffress defended Trump’s right to contest the outcome.
“As I said on Lou Dobbs show Friday: “The only way to unify our country is to protect not only the right to vote but the right to contest an election. President @realDonaldTrump has EVERY right to contest this election,” Jeffresstweeted.

The White House has yet to acknowledge Trump's defeat and the president has continued to make baseless claims of fraud stemming from before Biden was declared the winner over the weekend.
