In 2020, Trump won the Catholic vote 53-47. Last night, Trump won Catholics 56-41. That’s a 10 point swing. Why did Democrats run a woman who targeted the Little Sisters of the Poor and the Knights of Columbus? Who wants to jail Pro-Lifers? We Won!

- US President elect Donald Trump won the national Catholic vote by a margin of 56% to 41%, a higher level of support from Catholics than he received in 2020.
- Exit poll shows Trump won the Catholic vote by a wide margin (56%), improving over his 2016 win.
- People have been asking me why did the Catholic vote swing so decisively for Trump. A lot of it has to do with his record on religious freedom and his openness to religious exemptions – where Harris would allow none. Then there are all the intangibles: Harris’ Al Smith Dinner no show, her animus toward the Knights of Columbus and Pro-life activists. Trumps embrace of Catholic imagery and Catholic figures (including his VP) helped seal the deal. – Raymond Arroyo
