Trump, the former president, is still gaining ground in the swing states that often decide presidential elections.
A Pennsylvanian Democrat for life declared in a recent interview that he is abandoning the Party and supporting the outgoing president.
According to Steve Rosenberg, there is only “one candidate” for Jewish voters, and he partially attributed his support to the extreme ideas he saw in his previous Party.
“If you’re a Jew, if you’re pro-Israel, there’s only one candidate here,” he said to Fox News host Dana Perino. “Actions speak louder than words. Kamala Harris has surrounded herself with some of the worst Jew haters that there are. Maher Bitar… Philip Gordon, Ilan Goldenberg’s got a nice name, but if you look at their records, they are pro-Iran. They are not pro-Israel,” he said when he spoke on the Fox News show “America’s Newsroom.”
“To me, all the other issues that are on the table, whether you be climate-oriented, abortion-oriented, whatever your orientation is, if you are not focused on being a Jew and being pro-Israel right now, we are in the fight for our literal lives,” the voter said.
“And all those issues won’t be there if we’re dead in four years. They’re trying to kill us,” Rosenberg added.
Furthermore, he anticipated a change in this election despite the fact that Jewish voters often support Democrats.
“Some are afraid to say that they’re going to support Donald Trump for whatever the reasons are,” he said. “And there are some that still say things like, ‘I would never vote for a Republican. I would never vote for Donald Trump.’ They’re worried about what happened on January 6th, which is insanity to me, because they’re not worried about what happens in the country every single day, which is 10 times worse than January 6th.”
“If you are a Jew and you are worried and not worried about your literal existence, then I don’t know what else to tell you,” Rosenberg noted.
It comes after Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris received more unsettling news from the Keystone State.
A prominent Democrat in the Senate thinks that after the abortive attempt on his life, former President Trump’s “special connection” with the Pennsylvanian people should worry his party’s presidential contender.
Sen. John Fetterman gave the warning when speaking with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg on Thursday at the 2024 Atlantic Festival, according to Fox News.
“Trump has created a special kind of hold within the coronet he’s remade – the party – and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania, and I think that only deepened after the first assassination attempt,” the senator said.
“I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there are kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania — and people are very committed and strong,” he said. “And I joked that his signs became like the state flower – and you see that everywhere.”
The vice president appears to be slightly ahead in the state, according to the polls, but the former president is closing the gap.
However, the senator expressed doubt about the vice president’s lead in the polls, citing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s seven-point advantage in 2016.
“Everybody thought that it was in the bag, but that’s not the energy and the other kinds of things that were really consistent with what I’m witnessing all across,” he said. “And then, sadly, we saw what happened.”
“People understand who he is and what he’s about, and enough people think that that’s the feature, and it’s not a bug,” he said.
