Synopsis
This book examines the evolution of the Catholic vote in the US and the role of Catholic voters in the 2024 national elections. There is a paucity of academic books on Catholic voters, even though they comprise nearly one-quarter of the US national popular vote (known as the &“swing vote&”). Understanding the intersection of religion, politics, and election outcomes in the US requires an analysis of the role played by Catholics. Catholic voters had a powerful influence on the re-election of Donald Trump and this volume untangles how the swing vote swung Right in 2024.The key topics are whether Trump&’s Catholic outreach and commitment to social issues were key to his achieving a majority of the Catholic vote; the role of the Catholic bishops in US elections; the important role of the Catholic Latino vote in US elections; the conservative Catholic and evangelical alliance in US politics; and the distinctive politics of social justice Catholics and socially conservative Catholics.
