White House prayer rally draws thousands to Washington

Christians gathered for a day-long prayer festival held in Washington on May 17. The rally, backed by the Trump administration, has drawn criticism for promoting Christian nationalism, undermining the separation of church and state. Americans who travelled from across the country said it's a response to what they see as a decline of religious values, although Trump's approval rating among white Evangelicals has declined.
