Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) said in an interview that aired on Easter Sunday that he prays for President Trump, adding that he needs a lot of prayer.
The Georgia senator, a Baptist pastor, confirmed to Jake Tapper on CNNs State of the Union that he absolutely prays for Trump becuase he has influence and power over people I care about.
Warnock said he affirms Trumps humanity, but part of his prayer is about accountability.

There's nothing in what he says that excuses anything.
