26. How much difference it makes is debatable; he had already handed over leadership

and the powers behind the Republicans, like Bannon or the Kochs, don't seem to be kowtowing to the religious right quite as much these days. It's more just about power for themselves.

The Fellowship’s unofficial leader for many years was Doug Coe, who is now 88 and due to health issues has offloaded many of his responsibilities to a handful of other leaders, according to Hunter. Sens. John Boozman (R-Ark.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) are the chairmen of the breakfast this year, but four people handle the logistics of the prayer breakfast now. Those duties include choosing the speaker, a decision that is not announced before the breakfast.
