Trump sweeps Catholic vote
November 17, 2024 | Callista Gingrich
The election of Donald Trump on Nov. 5 marked the beginning of a new golden age for America. In his victory speech on election night in Palm Beach, Florida, President-elect Trump pledged to fight for every citizen, their families, and their future.
“I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve,” Trump said. “This will truly be the golden age of America.”
Voters have given Trump an overwhelming mandate to implement common-sense policies that put America First. Across the electorate, Trump made significant gains among key demographics, including among Catholic voters.
As I wrote on Oct. 10: “President Donald J. Trump is making significant headway with Catholics across America. … This momentum of Catholic support coalescing around Trump is particularly important considering the religious demographics of key battleground states.”
Nationally, though Catholics were closely split in the 2020 election, in 2024, Trump won the national Catholic vote by 15 percentage points. According to exit polls by The Washington Post, 56 percent of Catholics voted for Trump, compared to 41 percent for Kamala Harris.
Catholics make up the largest religious denomination in the United States, composed of approximately 52 million people.
