The Rev. Franklin Graham urged Americans Wednesday to carefully compare Republican and Democratic policies before voting in the November 3 midterm elections, pointing to immigration, election integrity, and government-funded benefits as major differences between the parties.

“Do you know who to vote for in the midterms? Let me give you some help, but you decide,” Graham wrote in a post on X, encouraging voters to examine what each party stands for.

“The Democratic Party wants open borders, while the Republican Party wants secure borders. The Democratic Party wants noncitizens to be able to vote; the Republican Party supports requiring voter ID,” Graham wrote.

He also criticized Democratic support for providing taxpayer-funded benefits to noncitizens, contrasting it with the Republican position against such policies.

“The Democratic Party wants to give taxpayer-funded benefits like healthcare to noncitizens; the Republican Party says No to that. And there are a hundred more issues,” Graham said.

He concluded by encouraging Americans to consider the differences between the parties through their faith.

“The choice is yours, but look prayerfully at what both parties stand for,” he wrote.

Graham serves as president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse. He has frequently encouraged Christians to participate in elections and evaluate candidates according to their positions on religious liberty, abortion, and traditional family values.

His latest appeal comes as Republicans seek to maintain their congressional majorities and advance President Donald Trump’s agenda during the final two years of his second term. Democrats, meanwhile, are working to regain control of one or both chambers of Congress, which would give them greater influence over legislation, federal spending and congressional investigations.

Immigration enforcement and election rules remain central issues in the political contest. Republicans have generally advocated stronger border security and voter identification requirements, while Democrats have opposed certain Republican-backed voting restrictions and supported broader access to some public benefits for eligible immigrant populations.

Graham’s descriptions reflect his characterization of the parties’ positions, which can vary among individual candidates and proposals.

Evangelical Christians remain an important constituency in Republican politics, with many voters prioritizing abortion restrictions, religious freedom, and conservative social policies. Graham’s message encourages voters to weigh those concerns alongside immigration and election integrity as they decide how to cast their ballots.
