‘Catholics for Trump’ launched as Catholics lean Harris

Trump launches ‘Catholics for Trump’ coalition as poll shows Catholics lean Harris

Thursday, September 12th, 2024

Former President Donald Trump launched his campaign’s Catholics for Trump coalition on September 4 in a bid to reach Catholic voters. A recent survey indicated that Catholic voters currently lean toward Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

In a press release, the Trump-Vance campaign said the Republican nominee “announces ‘Catholics for Trump,’ a coalition committed to safeguarding the vital principles of religious liberty and defending family values that President Donald J Trump has ardently championed.”

The website for the coalition claims Trump “did more for Catholics than any administration in history,” touting the Department of Health and Human Services’ creation of a new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division.
