Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to reach out to Catholic voters, piggybacking off the announcement of Trump’s initiative and launching her own “Catholics for Harris-Walz” coalition weeks later. However, Catholic voters looking for a candidate who aligns with their values see through this ruse.
