American cable news company Newsmax made this claim:
"If Christians and evangelicals would just vote proportionately to other Democrat-controlled voting blocs, Republicans might "never lose an election,"

Is this claim true?

I don't think there is enough evidence to support this claim being true. However, I would say that this is most likely true as Christians make up around 65% of the United States, and approximately 25-35% of that percentage identifies as evangelical. According to the U.S. Census, the majority of every State is Christian so if these margins stay the same and they all voted together they would indeed win every election.
