President Donald Trump tweeted on Saturday a misleading statement that “the Democrats targeted the word GOD ‘from the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democratic National Convention. ”

However, Trump’s claim misrepresented the Democrats and the DNC. Every four nights of the convention included a recitation of the promise including “Under God” each time, AP News reported.
Two caucuses, the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly and the LGBTQ Caucus Assembly, which were held prior to the evening conventions and not included in the broadcast of the prime-time convention, included “not under God” in the plan .
But Trump’s nomination declared the Democrats who – on all four nights of their evening party – recited the property with the phrase “under God.”
Joe Biden is a Catholic and Kamla Harris is a Baptist. On Friday night, Joe Biden tweeted about how “In America, everyone should have the opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God-given abilities they will take.”

Before Biden’s speech on Thursday, in which he accepted the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party, Delaware Senator Chris Coons delivered a speech in which he said, “For Joe, faith is not a prop as a political tool.” He added that the former vice president “is a man of faith and conscience.”
