In the 2016 caucus, religious voters in the state stayed away from Donald Trump. They've since become a vital part of his base.

“There’s a portion of the evangelical community that’s very attracted to the idea that God knows everything and God appoints leaders,” he said. “They believe that Donald Trump is the appointed leader at this moment in time.”

“‭‭Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

– Romans‬ ‭13:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Except, of course, if the current leader is a Democrat.
