What happened

President Donald Trump attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on February 5, 2026, in a program carried in full on the White House channel. Pastor Paula White, senior adviser to the White House Faith Office, opened the gathering: “It is an honor to stand in this sacred gathering where faith, leadership, and conscience meet at the National Prayer Breakfast — a moment that reminds our nation and the world that faith matters, prayer matters, and an awareness of God’s sovereignty matters.”

White described the President as one who “understands that faith is not a private afterthought but a public good” and who “has not merely spoken about faith but has acted to protect it, defend it, and to elevate it.” The breakfast is the annual Washington gathering of political leaders, faith leaders, and international guests built around prayer for the nation and its leadership.

Why it matters

The White House Faith Office is part of this administration’s governing structure, and the Prayer Breakfast is its most visible annual stage. The President’s attendance — and the Faith Office’s framing of his record — is the faith constituency’s place in the chronicle of his second term.
