Biden is the first president to omit the word God from proclamation; Reverend and Samaritan s Purse President weighs in on Fox News Primetime
Reverend Franklin Graham reacted on Fox News Primetime Thursday to President Biden being the first commander-in-chief to omit God from his address on the National Day of Prayer.
The holiday, first celebrated by Democrat Harry Truman and later formalized by Republican Ronald Reagan, is celebrated the first Thursday of May.
Biden, who identifies as a devout Roman Catholic, neglected to mention God during his formal Proclamation.
Graham, who now leads the Asheville, N.C.-based Billy Graham Evangelistic Association that his late father founded, told Fox News host Pete Hegseth he cannot figure out why Biden left the name of the Creator out of his proclamation.

“Her gift’s worth is not measured by the tactile touch of paper nor that of coin,” Hagaman said. “It was, after all, her gift - a gift that cannot be identified by ink and paper, nor that of forged metal. Its worth transcends any worth that we could ever ascribe. It is, however, the quiet and simple gift of hope, faith and love. These are the three attributes of our two fallen brothers.”
The deputies may have saved lives, Hagaman said in an interview last week. The gunman who killed his mother, stepfather and the two deputies owned a lot weapons, which may have been intended for a mass shooting, Hagaman said. The gunman is also suspected of taking his own life during the 13-hour standoff with police.
