Faith and the Faithful in the 2024 Election: What Happened, Why, and What Now?

A week after the United States’ election day, this online Georgetown University dialogue will bring together respected reporters and analysts to examine what happened, why, and how religious values, voters, and communities shaped the debate and affected the outcome of the presidential election. They will explore what was surprising and what issues, strategies, and tactics had the greatest impact.

This conversation will also look ahead to whether and how the nation can come together after the election, as well as the roles of religious believers and communities in defending human life and dignity, lifting up “the least of these,” protecting our democracy, and pursuing the common good in a bitterly divided nation.

John Carr, founder of the Initiative and former director of justice and peace efforts for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, will moderate the conversation.

This Public Dialogue is part of the Initiative’s Faith and the Faithful series.
