In an op-ed published by Newsweek, aptly titled “I’m Billy Graham’s Granddaughter and I’m Voting for Kamala Harris,” Jerushah Duford, granddaughter of the late evangelist Billy Graham, once again steps into the political fray—this time to endorse Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.

Note: This should not read as any kind of wholesale endorsement, theological or otherwise, of Billy Graham—I am fully aware of his compromises.

Duford, who previously lent her support to “Evangelicals for Biden” in 2020 and then to the perplexing “Evangelicals for Harris” initiative, is back, wielding her grandfather’s name like a hammer to discredit Donald Trump and prop up Harris as a supposedly “Christlike” alternative.

The article reads like a sermon from the high priestess of “progress,” aiming to reassure her audience that embracing the Biden-Harris agenda is, indeed, the “Christian” thing to do.

Duford’s endorsement, dripping with moral superiority, follows the same formula she’s been pushing for years … critique the traditional evangelical base, frame her political preferences as somehow biblically mandated, and then align herself with politicians whose platforms read like the antithesis to God’s moral character.

She expresses her “hope” that fellow evangelicals will have the courage to “realign” with her views, arguing, without a shred of irony, that Kamala Harris “embodies” the virtues of humility, justice, and love. The whole piece is so filled with empty platitudes and circular reasoning that you can’t help but marvel at its impudence. I mean, who else could claim with a straight face that the most radically progressive politician in recent history, a career bureaucrat whose values clash with biblical teachings at every turn, is the “Christlike” candidate?

It’s hard to believe that she’s even serious—perhaps she isn’t. Perhaps she’s just mocking her grandfather’s legacy, whatever that may be. But if she genuinely thinks Kamala Harris represents the virtues of the gospel, then her brain is as dead as her soul.

Duford wants to play word games with “values” and “faith” while endorsing a political platform that is openly hostile to these things. She’s either completely deluded, willfully ignorant, or cynically manipulating her family’s legacy for a reason.

Duford’s rambling assertion that Trump fails to “walk humbly” while Harris somehow holds the moral high ground and exemplifies Christian humility is a level of obtuse that almost defies belief. She condemns Trump’s faults—ego, divisive rhetoric, failure to admit wrongdoing—and then presents Harris as the godly alternative.

Let that sink in—Harris, who wants to defend abortion up to birth, legalize gender mutilation of minors, impose redistributive theft, promote sexual immorality as virtue, restrict religious freedoms, and enforce state-sanctioned redefinitions of biblical values.

In Duford’s eyes, Trump’s sins are apparently unforgivable. His personality, his ego, his audacity to challenge norms, she counts them all as damning flaws. And yet, in the same breath, she celebrates Harris—a politician whose unapologetic support for such evil—as virtue. Harris isn’t a “humble servant” or a “unifier.” She’s a partisan figure, one who slept her way into power, committed to the most radical, secular agenda this country has ever seen. Her policies are a direct assault on Christianity, yet Duford insists that evangelicals ought to see her as a model of faithfulness.

How deluded can one person be?

It’s genuinely painful to watch someone trade on the legacy of Billy Graham to support someone like Kamala Harris. Duford prattles on about how Trump “rejects the fundamentals of Christianity,” ignoring the fact that Harris stands opposed to nearly every teaching of Scripture.

The Bible is clear on the sanctity of human life. Harris’s record on abortion is equally clear, and far more horrific, standing in unyielding support of the most atrocious, godless evil this nation has ever witnessed. And somehow, in Duford’s mind, that qualifies her as the more “Christlike” choice?

Duford paints herself as a champion of “unity” and “humility” while promoting the Harris-Biden platform—a political agenda that has worked tirelessly to undermine the church’s ability to speak truth in public spaces, that has catered to a radical left whose goal is to suppress religious liberty at every turn.

She even has enough venom in her fork-tongued mouth to invoke Micah 6:8—a passage about loving mercy, acting justly, and walking humbly—as if it somehow indicts Trump while exonerating Harris. Harris, who laughs about advocating for unrestricted abortion, who belittles Christians as “intolerant,” and who literally prostituted herself to the political establishment, is now the “humble servant”?

I’d laugh at the irony, but it’s just so sad.

As she continues to weave a narrative of Harris as the canon saint of whatever religion she’s into now, Duford shamelessly brings up her grandfather’s work, as though invoking Billy Graham’s name will somehow give her endorsement more weight. But here’s the reality: Billy Graham may have had his faults—plenty of them—but he would have never approved of this.

The idea that Billy Graham would support his granddaughter’s endorsement of someone like Kamala Harris is laughable on its face. Despite all his theological flaws and compromises, Graham, at the very least, always preached biblical morality and ethics. These aren’t values you’ll find anywhere on the Harris-Biden platform, no matter how hard Duford tries to paint them as such.

It takes a special kind of fatuity to look at Kamala Harris’s record and conclude that she embodies Christian virtues. But blindness, it seems, is the defining feature of Duford’s worldview.
