Catholic swing voters were critical to Donald Trump’s blowout victory: ‘Harris snubbed us’

[mystery-ak]

Catholic voters across the country swung massively towards Donald Trump in the 2024 election, contributing to his surprise blowout victory on election night.Catholics were evenly split between President Joe Biden and Trump in 2020, with 50 percent favoring Trump to 49 percent favoring Biden.

According to exit polling collected by Fox News on election night, Catholics across the country swung nine percentage points in Trump’s favor, with the former and now-future president winning Catholics by 10 points.

Bill Donohue, president of the religious civil rights group the Catholic League, told Fox News Digital that Catholics resoundingly rejected Harris because of what he called a "clear animus against Catholics."

"She was rejected primarily because she is associated with the politics of extremism, and that is something the American people will never countenance," he said.

There are approximately 52 million Catholic adults in the U.S., making it the largest religious denomination in the country. Until now, political opinions among Catholic voters have been split between the two parties, leading many to believe that there is no such thing as a Catholic voting bloc.

But after Tuesday’s election results, Brian Burch, president of the conservative activism group CatholicVote, is saying that Catholic voters proved that theory wrong.

"There is an emerging electoral trend here that Republicans, if they are smart, will latch onto," he told Fox News Digital.

I am actually surprised that Catholics are the largest religious denomination in the country.  I question if that is Roman Catholics or if it includes Episcopalians and Protestants that may be counted within that group.

Don't forget, most Hispanics are also Catholics, and Hispanics now outnumber African-Americans in the U.S.

Catholics don't believe in artificial contraception, so, they can outbreed other denominations.

The Dems' militant abortion and LBGQT+ agenda is chasing social and religious conservatives out of the party.

The Dems ran two of their own Senators out for their caucus for not drinking the Green Global Climate Chnage Kool-Aid.

Sometimes, when confronted with an all-or-nothing choice, people choose nothing rather than compromise deeply held personal beliefs.

For Pete's Sake, the Dems almost lost New Jersey.

The Dems great replacement theory isn't  about replacing white folk it is about replacing the blacks.
