Tammy Duckworth in 2020 Vice Presidential prospects

On Principles & Values: Calls herself a deist; would not infringe on other beliefs

Her mother is an active Buddhist, her father was Southern Baptist--but she describes herself using a term rarely used by modern politicians. "I think of myself as a deist," she told a group of constituents in 2012. Asked by an atheist how she would treat them if elected, Duckworth responded: "I think that's my personal belief. That's not anyone else's. And I'm not going to infringe my belief on yours or anyone else." Source: Religion News Service on 2020 Veepstakes Aug 5, 2020
