Jewish Voters in a Tight Race: Canvassing for Trump or Harris

Rachel Weinberg, a religious Jewish American, supports Donald Trump due to his pro-Israel stance, as part of a larger Republican Jewish Coalition strategy in key states. The door-to-door campaign aims to sway Jewish voters amid ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and rising antisemitism in the U.S.

Rachel Weinberg prioritizes her Jewish faith and American identity, backing Donald Trump primarily for his pro-Israel views. The 72-year-old Michigan resident is part of a key demographic targeted by the Republican Jewish Coalition's new strategy aimed at boosting Trump's support in crucial battleground states.

The coalition is deploying a door-to-door campaign in five pivotal states, including Michigan, seeking to tip the scales in favor of Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris. This comes amidst ongoing debates following the Israel-Hamas conflict, seeking to alter the traditionally Democratic Jewish voter base.

Despite Jewish voters traditionally leaning Democratic, the coalition hopes to capitalize on the current geopolitical tensions and rising antisemitism, banking on a $15 million outreach effort to sway voters through targeted communications and intensive grassroots efforts in neighborhoods with high Jewish populations.
