Republicans Seek the Jewish Vote
WEST BLOOKFIELD, MI (AP) – Republicans in key battleground states are working to ensure one group of voters throws their support behind Former President Donald Trump. More on this from reporter Bernie Bennett.
VERBATIM: The door-to-door outreach to Jewish voters with a history of backing Republicans is part of a new effort that a group is undertaking this year in five presidential battleground states in hopes of boosting Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election.
Although surveys show that Jews vote decidedly Democratic, the Republican Jewish Coalition is hoping that the door-knocking will peel off enough votes to make a difference in an election year when the war between Israel and Hamas has stoked debate and provoked division.
The Republican Jewish Coalition has purchased $15 million in advertising in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
