'We leave it in God's hands': Republicans court a skeptical Amish community in Pennsylvania
Daniel is a small business owner, he is deeply religious, and he lives in rural Pennsylvania. All of these things make him a prime target for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
There is one problem, however. Daniel is Amish, and the Amish do not tend to vote.
“My kingdom is not of this world,” he tells The Independent, using words attributed to Jesus in the Bible, when asked if he could ever be tempted to cast a ballot for either party. “That’s pretty much how we feel about it.”
That hasn’t stopped Republicans and MAGA activists from launching a campaign to turn the insular Amish community into Trump voters.
