Evangelical Christians have overwhelmingly voted for Republications in the US for decades. Doug Pagitt wants to change that.

Pagitt says for Democratic candidates to be effective, it's about empathy — not espousing religious values.

"We say to them, 'feel free to tell a voter I'm not a religious person. I'm not motivated by religious faith, but I know that you are and because you are, I want to know more about how you're motivated for the things that you care about in the world'," he says.Sunday Extra presents a lively mix of national and international affairs, analysis and investigation.

Pagitt is hesitant to cast any one religious group as the"power broker" in the US, and acknowledges a presidential candidate could still win without the religious vote. "I just don't know why you would and why you would try to do so when religious voters are available, and are wanting to consider Democratic candidates, especially at this time," he says.

"Why you would turn your back on those voters, not only for this particular election, but just ongoing?"Sign up

Public hearings in Trump impeachment probe to start next weekThe first open hearings in the impeachment inquiry into US President Donald Trump are set for next week, the congressman overseeing the process said, as the investigation heads into a much-anticipated public phase. Open hearings? Gee, that's nice and fair of the Democrats. Nevermind the fact that they've denied Trump the right to have counsel present, the right to cross-examine, to access alleged evidence, or to subpoena his own witnesses. And they've *still* uncovered nothing worthwhile. Where’s the whistleblower?! 🤷🏻‍♂️ DefundSBS

Trump jnr exposes identity of officer who prompted impeachment inquiryIn a statement issued after Trump jnr's tweet, the whistleblower's attorneys warned that 'identifying any suspected name for the whistleblower will place that individual and their family at risk of serious harm'. Once again fake news. The identity is already known and published by other “news” outlets like yourselves. It's like a Mafia family :) I suppose that is all they can say. If the whistleblower was someone else they would confirm that, whilst not identifying him. Otherwise the lawyers would be allowing an innocent person and their family at risk of serious harm.
