Trump announces ‘Jewish Voices for Trump’ group

His campaign describes it as “a coalition of thought leaders, business trailblazers, former administration officials, authors, influencers and those within the Jewish community.”

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has launched an initiative to reach out to Jewish voters.

The former president announced Jewish Voices for Trump, which the GOP campaign describes as “a coalition of thought leaders, business trailblazers, former administration officials, authors, influencers and those within the Jewish community.”

The group’s mission statement said that it seeks to stand up against “radical antisemitism” and that “while the world has fallen into chaos with Harris, President Trump’s Abraham Accords chartered new territory in regional stability, not just for Israel, but for the world.”

David Friedman, former ambassador to Israel, is one of the first Jewish voices the campaign cites.

“Campuses have exploded with antisemitic protests, and Iran-backed proxies represent an existential threat to the State of Israel, all because of the failed policies of the Harris-Biden administration,” Friedman said.

“I have known President Donald J. Trump for over 25 years,” said Jason Greenblatt, former assistant to the president and special representative for international negotiations. “He fully understands the issues our great country is facing and is unafraid to speak the truth about the dramatic dangers lurking around the world for America and its allies.”

“I’m happy that the University of Washington, for literally the first time ever, has made the correct decision to not have an America-hating communist spread his hatred and terrible ideology to young people at our taxpayer funded universities,” Republican state representative Travis Couture told JNS.
The cohort includes 392 new immigrants—246 men and 146 women.
World Vision was found to have provided funding to a U.S. sanctioned organization, and Israel jailed its Gaza operations manager for diverting as much as $50 million to Hamas.
Democratic state representative Roger Goodman, co-chair of the legislative Jewish caucus, told JNS that it could be a “misstep” for the public school to invite the “divisive” commentator.
