Trump Looks to Reward Catholics

Politico: “Until Trump carried 52 percent of their votes in 2016, American Catholics supported the Democratic nominee in all but four presidential cycles since 1952. But after betting it all on the thrice-married Manhattan businessman — Trump won white Catholics by a 23-point margin, compared to Mitt Romney’s 19-point victory in 2012 — they never received so much as a ‘thank you’ from the 45th president.”

“If the 2020 election will be won or lost in the Rust Belt… the president can’t afford to have Catholics feeling left out… Inside the Trump campaign, preparations are underway for a “Catholics for Trump” coalition and a series of events that will get the president and his surrogates in front of friendly Catholic audiences.”
