The Results Are In
In perhaps the biggest surprise in American politics, Donald J. Trump was elected as president of the United States. Most of the polls, almost every one in the media, had been indicating that Hillary Clinton would be elected. It seemed like it was done deal. And yet it wasn’t.
Local Catholics: ‘Let’s Give Trump a Chance’
While many Catholics in the diocese expressed support for the new president-elect, some were disappointed but willing to give the next president a chance.
Now It’s Time to Vote
