Donald Trump said he's found another benefit he hopes to receive should he win the presidential election: it will serve as his ticket to heaven.
"For evangelicals, for the Christians, for the everybody, for everybody of religion, this will be, may be, the most important election that our country has ever had," Trump said during a meeting with evangelical leaders in Orlando Thursday,
according to Politico.
"And once I get in, I will do my thing that I do very well. And I figure it is probably, maybe the only way I'm going to get to heaven. So I better do a good job."
Trump asked the evangelical crowd for assistance in the election, urging the pastors in attendance to spread the word to their congregations that he is the best person to occupy the Oval Office, not Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"You've got to get your people out to vote," he said.
Trump especially asked for help in Utah, a conservative state that has not necessarily aligned with Trump's message on everything.
"I'm having a tremendous problem in Utah. Utah is a different place. Is anybody here from Utah? I didn't think so," Trump said. "We're having a problem. I mean because, you know, it could cost us the Supreme Court."
A report in June said evangelicals are
reluctantly supporting Trump for president, even though they don't always agree with him.
