Event Involvements
Events with structured involvement data
Evangelicals are implicated as the constituency praying against C.J. and, by extension, the administration; their mobilization is presented as both symbolic and politically consequential, evidenced by the '600,000' figure C.J. cites.
Represented indirectly via the prayer card and C.J.'s report that they are praying for her—a diffuse but active constituency.
A significant external bloc whose moral judgments can translate into electoral consequences; they stand in tension with the administration's coalition.
Their moral framing complicates damage control and threatens erosion of necessary electoral coalitions, making political recovery both tactical and cultural.
Evangelicals are cited as a constituency whose prayer list includes C.J.; their mention quantifies part of the political fallout and indicates a demographic whose support (or hostility) materially affects the administration's standing.
Referenced by C.J. as a demographic bloc that has publicly reacted to the controversy.
A politically influential demographic whose displeasure can materially affect electoral prospects, though they operate outside formal levers of power.
Their disapproval deepens the political cost of the Rooker affair and signals erosion in key constituency support.
Loose coalition with strong moral messaging; not centrally coordinated in the scene.
