      abstract = {This book examines the evolution of the Catholic vote in  the United States and the role of Catholic voters in the  2020 national elections more specifically. There is a  paucity of academic books on Catholic voters, even though  Catholics comprise nearly one-quarter of the US national  popular vote and commonly are called the "swing vote."  Scholars of religion and politics tend to focus heavily on  the evangelical right, thus overlooking the powerful  influence of Catholic voters who, by the accounts in this  volume, were critical to the presidential election of  President Joe Biden. To understand the intersection of  religion, politics, and election outcomes in the US  requires an analysis of the role played by Catholics. Among  key topics covered in this volume are whether Bidens  Catholic identity was key to his achieving a larger  percentage of the Catholic vote than achieved by Hillary  Clinton in 2016; the role of the Catholic bishops in US  elections; the critically important role of the Catholic  Latino vote in US elections; the conservative Catholic and  evangelical alliance in US politics; and the distinctive  politics of social justice Catholics and socially  conservative Catholics.
