Trump campaign makes last pitch to battleground Jewish voters - exclusive

Former president Donald Trump is the fighter American Jews “desperately need” to stand up to the evil perpetrating in the world right now, Republican National Committee spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday in a final appeal to Jewish voters in the battleground states.

For many American Jews like herself, she said, the October 7 massacre and the year that followed will “forever remind us of the threats we face around the world and in our own country.”

Pipko said she knows people in major cities across the US who are afraid to leave their homes while appearing visibly Jewish.

 “It is not difficult for most to recognize that the leadership of Kamala Harris failed when it came to our protection, and that the Democrat party of our parents and grandparents no longer exists,” she said. “This election should come down to the safety and protection of our loved ones, because nothing else can matter when that is at risk.”

In his first term, Trump “unequivocally stood by Israel, our greatest ally, and always stood strong in the face of evil terrorism and those who wanted to cause harm to the American people,” Pipko said.

Trump has vowed to pull support from any universities pushing antisemitic propaganda

Trump has watched the horrific events of the last year unfold and has “vowed to pull support from any universities pushing antisemitic propaganda and putting our young Americans at risk,” she added.

The Post reached out to the Harris campaign for a final message to Jewish voters in battleground states but had not yet received a response.
