President Trump's ongoing feud with Pope Leo has caused fresh headaches for the Republican party as they navigate the upcoming midterm elections. The longstanding disputes could impact key swing voters.
President Trump's tumultuous relationship with the papacy has once again created fresh political troubles for the Republican party as they head into the highly contested 2022 midterm elections. Trump's latest round of attacks on Pope Leo, the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, have the potential to alienate a crucial voting bloc that could determine the balance of power in Congress.
