It appears that even in Democratic strongholds, voters have had enough with soft-on-crime policies that have been implemented by left-wing prosecutors in recent years.

Decades ago, American Catholics were known as a pro-Democrat voting bloc, notably helping deliver the 1960 presidential election for fellow Catholic John F. Kennedy. In the years since, the Catholic vote has become more fractured, often leaning Democrat but rarely moving as a cohesive bloc.

Mark this well: Trump is not the true victor here. God is the one who has acted in immeasurable mercy toward our nation. God is the one who gets all the glory and deserves all the praise. In his magnificent kindness and common grace, God has chosen to spare us the plenteous vicissitudes of a Harris administration. The magnitude of common grace in this act is nearly unprecedented in Western history.
President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory on Tuesday is proof that the American people have embraced a commonsense agenda and rejected abortion-centered fearmongering, according the U.S. Speaker of the House.
