President Trump’s selection of Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court is a cap on his campaign’s relentless attempt to woo Catholic voters.

Barrett, a Catholic mother of seven and a graduate of Notre Dame’s law school, began her journey as a favorite in 2017 when Trump nominated her to sit on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and when he subsequently considered her to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Trump chose another Catholic instead, Brett Kavanaugh.
