Prayer warriors and bikers vow to protect Trump on Inauguration Day

Christian prayer warriors and bikers have expressed plans to provide protection for President-elect Donald Trump on inauguration day.

A new group called POTUS Shield gathered at the National Press Club on Thursday to form a "prayer shield" for the incoming administration. Some of its members include Alveda King, Lou Engle, Mark Gonzales, Darrell and Belinda Scott, Cindy and Mike Jacobs, Rick Joyner, and Jennifer LeClaire.

"We're really not looking for Mr. Trump or any human to change America, but we know God can and will do it," King, who is also the director of Civil Rights for the Unborn, told CBN News.

A number of pastors have assembled at the Capitol Hill to pray for Trump's HUD Secretary nominee, Ben Carson, at his Senate hearing.

"We're actually a prayer group. We pray for leaders across our nation — a group of pastors come together to pray for our nation and our leaders, particularly the new administration," said Virginia Beach Pastor Eric Majette.

Meanwhile, the motorcycle group known as Bikers for Trump have vowed to protect the president-elect against protesters on the day of his inauguration. The group's leader, Chris Cox, said that he does not expect any problems at the event, but the bikers will be forming a "wall of meat" in case something happens.

"We're anticipating a celebration here. We don't anticipate any problems. We have a strict code of conduct where we don't condone violence. But again in the event that we're needed, you can certainly count on the Bikers for Trump," Cox told Fox Business.

Bikers for Trump, which was formed about 15 months ago, is one of the several groups that applied for a federal permit for the event. It has been granted permission to be at the John Marshall Park, which is along the Inaugural Parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Cox said that the bikers' rally will begin before Trump goes into the Capitol, and it will end shortly before the parade.

Members of the group have already stood up against anti-Trump protesters during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last July.
