## Summary

The article argues that the Democratic Party has a problem with Christianity, despite electing several clergy members and a seminarian in a midterm victory. It questions whether some of those elected should be described as Christian because, according to the author, they reject a core Christian belief about salvation through Jesus.

The author names senators-elect James Talarico of Texas and Adam Hamilton of Kansas, and representative-elect Lindsay James of Iowa. The article provides no further details about their statements or beliefs, and its claim is presented as the author’s assessment.
