The late reverend Billy Graham was one of the most influential pastors in world history.
Franklin Graham followed in his father’s footsteps and became one of the most well-known evangelicals in America.
But Billy Graham’s granddaughter caught everyone by surprise with this five-word confession.
Billy Graham’s granddaughter shocks family
The late reverend Billy Graham passed away in 2018 at the age of 99.
Before his death in 2018, Billy Graham was the most well-known and influential evangelist in the entire world.
During his lifetime, he preached to more than 200 million people across six continents and served as pastor to 12 Presidents.
Billy Graham once said that “no subject is closer to my heart than the family.”
Franklin Graham is one of Billy Graham’s five children.
He took over his father’s empire after his death and has become the most influential pastor in the United States and one of the most influential in the world.
But there is one member of Billy Graham’s family who does not see eye-to-eye with her uncle Franklin when it comes to politics.
Billy Graham’s granddaughter has a history
“Rev. Franklin Graham, fresh off helping the survivors of Hurricane Helene where FEMA did not, is offering prayers for GOP nominee Donald Trump,” the Western Journal reported. “His granddaughter, meanwhile, is writing opinion pieces in favor of Kamala Harris.”
Billy Graham’s granddaughter, Jerushah Duford, pinned an op-ed for Newsweek where she proudly declared that “I’m voting for Kamala Harris.”
“We’re just days away from the presidential election, and most polls indicate it will be a nailbiter,” her op-ed began. “These are nervous times for many people, especially those who fear how they would be treated under a second Trump administration, one less beholden to norms and laws and the adults who were supposedly in the room the first time around.”
Duford called for “a courageous realignment for some of my fellow evangelicals who I feel may have been led astray by the MAGA movement.”
“As someone who enjoyed the privilege of growing up around the revered minister Dr. Billy Graham—or as we grandchildren knew him, ‘Daddy Bill’—I recognize very little in former President Donald Trump of the Christian faith that has inspired my life,” she wrote. “Both men have stars on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, but I fear this may be the only characteristic they share.”
She blasted Donald Trump for allegedly appeasing Russian President Vladimir Putin and called him an authoritarian.
Duford even compared Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to her grandfather Billy Graham.
“In Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, I see a commitment to service and a future built on unity and hope—values that were deeply important to my grandfather,” she wrote. “Trump’s divisive rhetoric and pursuit of personal power, on the other hand, undermine the love and humility that the Gospel calls us to embody.”
She said Kamala Harris is motivated by a desire to “serve” the American people, whereas Trump only wants to “demonize others and divide America.”
This is not Duford’s first time embracing the Left.
She wrote a letter in 2020 offering support for the LGBTQ+ movement.
Duford may be for Kamala Harris, but her uncle Franklin Graham is leading prayers for America and Donald Trump.
“FATHER, WE BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL HEAR OUR PRAYERS, WE COME TO SAY THANK YOU AND TO PRAY FOR OUR NATION. IF IT BE THY WILL THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL WIN THIS ELECTION.” – @Franklin_Graham pic.twitter.com/6XayNLwuaP
