Ahn is currently running for Governor in the 2026 California gubernatorial election as a Republican.[11] Ahn has been a Trump supporter since 2016. At a Stop The Steal rally held shortly before the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, he told an audience, "I believe that this week we're going to throw Jezebel out and Jehu's gonna rise up, and we're gonna rule and reign through President Trump and under the lordship of Jesus Christ because I'm telling you the consequences are severe if Biden [or] Harris becomes president."[3][12] Religious studies scholar Matthew D. Taylor describes Ahn as a proponent of "Christian Supremacy", and concluded that Ahn spoke to the Stop the Steal crowd "as an apostle... to spiritually push Donald Trump across the finish line."[13]
