The Republican Jewish Coalition overnight Tuesday congratulated Donald J. Trump on his “decisive victory” in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. A statement released by RJC National Chairman Senator Norm Coleman and CEO Matt Brooks read:

President Donald J. Trump’s decisive victory tonight is a victory for American Strength, American Leadership, American Prosperity, and the American Dream.

This is the greatest political comeback in U.S. history.

For four years, the American people have suffered under the failed policies of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats. That all changes starting on Day One of the Trump Administration.

The RJC is gratified to be part of this winning coalition, having played a significant role in support of President Trump’s victory, particularly in the key battleground states. RJC raised and spent over $15 [million] in support of President Trump, turning out Jewish voters with an unprecedented paid media campaign and grassroots engagement deploying thousands of volunteers on the ground in key Jewish communities.

As we’ve said from the beginning: The Jewish vote matters, and it played a major role in delivering the Presidency for President Trump. Jewish voters from coast to coast rejected Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party due to their failure to keep the Jewish community safe, and for undermining our ally Israel as it continues to fight an existential war against Iran and its terrorist proxies.

Now is the time to come together as Americans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—to fix the many problems facing our country.

We are excited to work with President Trump and Vice President-Elect JD Vance and their administration to usher in a new Golden Age of peace and prosperity in these United States.
