A Look at the Importance of the Catholic Vote in Pennsylvania | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As the campaign enters its final stretch, high importance is being placed on the Catholic vote, specifically in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference released numbers in 2020 showing 23% of the population as Catholic, that amounts to more than 3 million people of the state's estimated 13 million citizens. This comes as Republican Vice Presidential Nominee JD Vance, a practicing Catholic, wrote a recent article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and her record with Catholics. Pennsylvania is a state that President Biden won in 2020 by around 80,000 votes, partially due to his Catholic roots in Scranton. And some experts believe whichever way the Catholic vote leans in this pivotal swing state, could determine the outcome in this presidential election. Editorial Page Editor for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Brandon McGinley, joins to share how much weight the Catholic vote of Pennsylvania carries in this race. Brandon tells us whether he thinks that the Catholic vote can tip the race in PA. He discusses some of the big issues motivating Catholic voters in the Keystone State. Brandon fills us in on which candidate he thinks is appealing more to Catholic voters. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
