Shawn Carney, the founder of 40 Days For Life, highlighted the importance of this outcome, emphasizing that Trump had decisively won the Catholic vote. Carney pointed out that the absence of Vice President Harris at the Al Smith Dinner, a notable event for Catholics, was perceived negatively by the community.

He referenced instances where the administration had targeted Catholics and pro-lifers, fostering a sentiment of antipathy towards the Catholic community.
