This appeared in The Millennial Source

In the run up to the United States’ 2016 presidential election this November, TMS is publishing a series of interviews showcasing different opinions about President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden to give readers insight into the views of candidates’ supporters and detractors.

Our first interview was with a Trump supporter, Andrew Shecktor, who is involved in local government and served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2016 and 2020. In our second and third interviews, we asked two progressives why they would or would not be voting for Biden.

This interview is with Rev. Dr. Casey T. Sigmon, an Assistant Professor of Preaching and Worship at Saint Paul School of Theology. She received her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University and Master of Divinity from McCormick Theological Seminary. She is ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and has pastored congregations in Tennessee and Missouri.

Sigmon says she did not vote for Trump in 2016 and will not vote for him in 2020. In this interview, she provides her reasoning based on her faith and theological understanding of Jesus Christ.
