Trump’s remarks at the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast mixed religious themes with partisan and policy comments: he praised religious leaders and his own record on religious protections and the economy; criticized Democrats and specific politicians (including calling Rep. Thomas Massie a “moron”); touted border security, energy policy and support for farmers; and praised allies (e.g., Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi). A full verbatim transcript is available (see sources).
The National Prayer Breakfast is organized and facilitated by the National Prayer Breakfast Foundation under the leadership of congressional co-chairs; historically the Fellowship Foundation (“The Family”) organized it but management moved to the new foundation in recent years. Funding comes from registration fees, sponsorships and donations to the foundation and related congressional co‑chair activities (the Foundation runs the event on behalf of Members of Congress).
This year’s 74th National Prayer Breakfast events were held in Washington, D.C.; co-chairs announced a return to the Washington Hilton for February 5, 2026, and press listings also show presidential remarks tied to Capitol events (the tradition includes gatherings at both the Hilton and Capitol).
Attendees included Members of Congress (co‑chairs Reps. Ben Cline and Jonathan Jackson), administration officials (Attorney General Pam Bondi and other cabinet members were mentioned), faith leaders and invited international guests; press coverage and the event transcript list named attendees referenced during the remarks (see sources).

The National Prayer Breakfast is an annual bipartisan event hosted by congressional co‑chairs and organized by the National Prayer Breakfast Foundation; the President’s participation is an official presidential appearance at a public, traditionally non‑governmental, congressional‑hosted gathering rather than a private, non‑official visit.
