Trump’s Historic Election Night, Father of Hamas Hostage Speaks Out

Trump’s Historic Election Night, Father of Hamas Hostage Speaks Out

Author: EWTN November 9, 2024 Duration: 55:29
In what was a historic election night, Donald Trump becomes only the second U.S. president to win two non-consecutive terms in office – reporters Mark Irons and Roselle Reyes speaks with voters in two key battleground states, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The pro-life movement celebrated its first state victories since the reversal of Roe v. Wade – we report on how Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota defeated their abortion amendments. Ethics and Public Policy Center’s Francis X. Maier and The Free Press’ Madeleine Kearns join us to discuss how Trump won the Catholic vote – and how the abortion and gender issues played a role in the election results. More than 13 months since the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack – we speak with the father of an Israeli-American still held hostage and hear his message to President-elect Trump. And we go south with Montse Alvarado for a close-up look at The Painted Churches of Texas.
