Reverend Paula White, President Donald Trump’s spiritual adviser and a prominent Christian Zionist, held a prayer service for the president last night during which she blamed the lack of a Trump victory on “demonic confederacies.”
Earlier in the service, another evangelical leader compared Trump supporters challenging vote counting to the soldiers of King David, standing their ground before the Philistines.

White, who delivered the invocation at President Trump’s inauguration and chairs the President’s Evangelical advisory board, has frequently generated controversy.
In 2019, she said that enemies of the president “operate in sorcery and witchcraft” and ultimately will be “overturned by the superior blood of Jesus.”
White has also appropriated Jewish rituals and symbolism into her ministry, declaring her love for Passover and wearing a Tallit in a Yom Kippur appeal for donations to her megachurch.
Last month, White topped a list of 50 Christian Allies of Israel released by the Israel Allies Foundation in honor of the Sukkot holiday.
