It may be too late to reclaim the word “evangelical” after the last 4 years of politics. Faithful Bible-believing Christ followers may have to call themselves by another name. I already have been avoiding it. But if this is true, it is unfortunate, since the word “evangelical”, when stripped of its cultural connotations, captures the heart of what it means to be Christian. The word comes from "euangelion" meaning "good news" in Greek. This is the same word that was translated into our Bibles as "Gospel".
