Evangelist Franklin Graham has been invited to deliver the invocation at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. This marks the second time Graham will offer prayers at a Trump inauguration, having previously done so in 2017.

Franklin Graham, the son of the legendary evangelist Billy Graham, is a prominent figure in the evangelical community. His participation in the inauguration underscores the continued influence of faith-based leaders in American politics. Graham has been a vocal supporter of Trump, often praising his policies and leadership.

Reflecting on the invitation, Graham expressed his gratitude and honour. “It’s my prayer that God will bless you, your family, your administration, and may He bless America,” Graham said, echoing sentiments from his previous invocation.

The inauguration ceremony, set to take place at the U.S. Capitol, will feature a diverse lineup of speakers and performers. Alongside Graham, other religious leaders, including a Catholic bishop, a rabbi, and an imam, will offer prayers, highlighting the event’s inclusive nature.

Graham’s involvement in the inauguration is seen as a testament to the strong relationship between the Trump administration and the evangelical community. His presence is expected to resonate with millions of Americans who share his faith and values.

As the nation prepares for this historic event, Graham’s invocation will serve as a reminder of the enduring role of faith in the public sphere. The ceremony will be attended by numerous dignitaries, including former presidents, tech billionaires, and world leaders.
