FILE - In this Dec. 18, 2020, file photo President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden walk from St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in Wilmington, Del. Yet President-elect Joe Biden enters his church, St. Joseph on the Brandywine, with startlingly little interruption. A Biden transition team official refused to say which church Biden might attend in the nation's capital or whether he might return to Delaware for services, at least to start. As vice president, Biden attended Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington’s tony Georgetown neighborhood, where the nation’s only other Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, frequently went to Mass before his inauguration. Not far from the White House is New York Avenue Presbyterian, which maintains the pew where Abraham Lincoln once worshipped.

Democrats are betting on Bidens evident comfort with faith as a powerful point of contrast in his battle against President Donald Trump.

Biden often talks about the comfort and meaning that hes drawn from faith, said Buttigieg, Bidens primary rival-turned-endorser. Joshua DuBois, who led religious outreach for former President Barack Obama, described the political climate as the perfect storm" for the president. Dickson, a former Republican who declared in 2012 that Im a Democrat because of my evangelical faith, previously worked on religious outreach for the Democratic National Committee and Obamas 2012 campaign.
