Laurie Theodore believes God will extend his mercy over the U.S. with four more years of President Trump through the court system.

“He’s a winner,” she said of Trump. 

Theodore, who lives in Portland, Oregon, was among thousands of Trump supporters who descended upon the nation's capitol Saturday to march from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court to oppose Election Day results and back Trump.

No state has reported systemic voting problems relating to Election Day, the New York Times reports.

“We're living in the last days where the world is getting evil,” Theodore told the Portland Courant. “Nobody's perfect but God is no-no with abortions and all the things that are going on.”

The Associated Press reported that Democratic challenger Joe Biden won Oregon with of 56.6% votes compared to 40.4% for Trump. 

"They are very liberal in Oregon," Theodore said in an interview at the rally.

Media outlets named Biden president-elect after he garnered 306 electoral votes compared to Trump’s 232.

“I'm already Christian so I believe that I'm praying for the will of God because God is in control and he knows,” she said.

Theodore, who is originally from the Palau Islands, isn’t too worried about the final outcome once the courts have ruled on the lawsuits filed due to her faith. 

“The U.S. Constitution was built on the Bible, the word of God,” she said. “We're going against God with abortion but God is giving us a chance, a period of time, to repent and turn to him. If the other side wins in court, we’re going to see a shake-up in the United States, which will lead people to repent and turn to God. Either way we praise and pray because we know God is in control. Either one of them will bring glory to God.”

Saturday’s March for Trump rally was part of a grassroots effort planned by pro-Trump groups around the country to show a united front, demand transparency in elections and protect election integrity. The Boston Herald reported Sunday that 24 people were arrested as a result of clashes with Biden supporters during and after the rally.

“I pray that God will touch people and set them free from fighting,” Theodore said.
