Donald Trump, a former president, complained about Catholics voting against him in 2020 despite his efforts to help their communities.
Trump made these remarks during a Thursday campaigning call organized by Intercessors for America.
"I did a lot to help the Catholics. Trump stated, "And I don't know, but I'm a bit surprised that the Catholic vote didn't get better."
"I believe they will give us their vote. We got around 50% of the votes. We did a lot for Catholic voters. We'll need to speak to them. We will have to meet with Catholics."
He pointed out the "situation regarding abortion" among Democrats and asked "How can you vote 50/50?" He said ".
He said, "I don't know how that's possible."
Former president also expressed disappointment at receiving so few votes from Jews.
"Look at what I did with Jerusalem's embassy and with so many other things. He said that Israel had never had a better friend and that he received 25% of the Jewish vote.
"I believe they must get together. It is necessary to have a bit more unity among all the religious groups represented at this call.
The conference call featured leaders from various Christian and Jewish religious groups. It could have been seen as the former president trying to strengthen his conservative religious base in advance of the next election.
Trump reiterated his widely discredited claims that he won 2020 and told listeners, “We have to fight like no other before.”
The call was opened by controversial Christian televangelist Paula White who served as Trump's spiritual adviser during his presidency.
Trump and White also used the occasion to announce their new National Faith Advisory Board initiative. It closely resembles that of the Faith and Opportunity Initiative, which the former president launched in 2018 while still in office.
The Jewish Forward described this initiative as an outreach effort to counter what Republicans call the "anti-faith agenda" of the Biden administration.
Trump repeated his assertion that President Joe Biden, Democrats, were doing evil things for religion in the conference call but didn't elaborate.
He said, "What they're trying to do to Christianity, to religion, it's very, very sad for our country."
Joe Biden, a Catholic, is one of America's most openly religious presidents. He attends Church regularly and makes the sign the cross at public events.
Trump spoke out about his record on religion during the call and stated that "I don’t think anyone has done anything as much for our religion or for religion in general than we have over the past four years."
Later, he added that "one of my greatest honors had been fighting for religious freedom and for defending Judeo-Christian principles and values of our nation's foundation."
Donald Trump previously stated that he was a "nondenominational Christian".
Trump answered a question about his religion during the call by saying, "It all revolves around God." It is so vital. God is essential to our success in what we do."
