The CEO of EWTN, the largest Catholic media network in the world, on Tuesday endorsed President Donald Trump in the 2020 race, citing his belief in God as central to the country’s private and public life.
“The choice isn’t really between Donald Trump and Joe Biden,” Michael Warsaw said in a press release.
“It is a choice between two completely different views of America. That difference is philosophical, not simply personal.”
“One campaign has built itself on the notion that America is a great country, with much to offer. It embraces a vision that sees religious practice and belief in God as central to the country’s private and public life,” he added.
Trump’s vision, said Warsaw, “believes that the values America supports through our foreign policy and overseas assistance should be values like religious freedom rather than abortion. It believes in equality of opportunity, opposes violent riots, and stands against the revisionist historians who would undermine everything in America in order to so taint the country’s heritage as to make it anathema.”
EWTN, founded in 1980, has 11 global TV channels.
Trump and Joe Biden are statistically tied among Catholic voters in six battleground states, according to a new poll by EWTN News/RealClear Opinion Research.
Overall, 52 percent say they support Biden, compared with 40 percent who support Trump. But Biden leads by just 4 percentage points in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, 48-44, which is within the poll’s margin of error.
Trump won the Catholic vote over Hillary Clinton in 2016 by 7 percentage points.
