As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, both major candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, are increasingly leveraging faith to connect with voters. Harris has been actively engaging with African-American congregations to mobilize support, while Trump positions himself as a protector of Christian values, warning against perceived threats to religious freedoms from a Harris administration. Recent surveys indicate that a significant portion of Americans rely on religion to cope with election-related stress, with many planning to pray before voting. In contrast to previous elections, the current campaign has seen less overt religious activity from candidates, despite their Christian identities. Pope Francis has encouraged voters to choose the 'lesser evil' among candidates, acknowledging the complexities surrounding life issues like migration and abortion. As discussions about faith's role in politics intensify, candidates are navigating their religious backgrounds and the expectations of their constituents.
