On the Iowa caucus eve edition of ABC’s World News Tonight, Republican campaign correspondent Tom Llamas had another lead story that focused heavily on frontrunner Donald Trump, but also featured a bizarre question to Republican Senator Ted Cruz (Tex.) as he was leaving an Iowa church about praying for his opponents like Donald Trump and fellow Senator Marco Rubio (Fl.). 

Llamas first mentioned that Trump stopped by a church for worship and “receiv[ed] a blessing from the pastor” before turning to Cruz who “also attend[ed] church” as the top two candidates have been “competing for those key evangelical voters.”
