According to early exit polls, Catholic voters supported Trump over Harris by a nearly 20-point margin. In 2020, Catholics backed Biden, who would become America’s second Catholic president, by a five-point margin. In both years, more than 1 in 5 voters were Catholic.

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman, 77, is a distinguished professor of history at American University and has predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris will win the 2024 presidential election over former President Donald Trump. He claims to use a set of 13 "keys" to make his picks, which range from economic indicators to candidates' charisma.

Trump's election victory was a product of voter discontent with the state of the country, the economy and a desire for change, and he made inroads with some Democratic groups.
