"In a glowing profile of the Biden campaign’s outreach to white, evangelical voters, CNN’s Sarah Muncha, in what does not appear to be an op-ed, breathlessly describes how Biden has displayed his faith by way of attending churches on the campaign trail and making polite, heavily pluralistic descriptions of his own faith.
"While she admits that although “President Trump is likely not in danger of losing the White evangelical vote,” a bloc he secured by 81% in 2016, “religious Democrats hope Biden can chip away at that support, which Trump needs in order to win reelection in November.”
"She explains that in order to do this, the campaign has zeroed in on white evangelical women, who are apparently more concerned about the environment, and evangelical millennials, who take more socially liberal stances than their older counterparts.
"In one particular passage which sounds as though it could have been written by the campaign itself, [CNN's] Muncha gushes: . . ."

A digital ad released last week that will play in battleground states introduces Biden as a leader of faith, drawing an implicit contrast with Trump without naming him. A female voice narrates the ad, called ‘That’s Joe,’ over still pictures and videos of Biden praying, greeting people, and wearing a mask. “In a crisis, it’s character that counts.
