What does a presidential victory for a Catholic mean in the US?

Many experts estimate that other minority aspects across the US will appear to dominate the American life inevitably in the 2040s. 

According to different models, by mid-century, non-white populations will exceed over 50 percent, making the country’s white population a minority in the US. 

A 2019 Brookings institution analysis has shown that the white majority-non-white minority balance in the US might have already changed as the country’s non-white population under 15 has passed white youths under the same category. 

In 2008, Barack Obama as a Black American, whose father was a Muslim, succeeded in becoming the nation’s first non-white president, signalling an upcoming political trend of non-white strength. 

In 2020, Biden’s vice-presidential pick Kamala Harris,  hails herself from a minority background, having an Indian mother and Jamaican father.  

Her political presence signals various trends in the US. 

Harris will be the country’s first female and Black vice president.
