Kamala Harris won tonight’s debate

Tonight, the American people saw firsthand the greatest contrast between two presidential candidates in our history.

Kamala Harris decisively won the debate. She demonstrated the moral clarity, leadership, and strength we need in our next commander-in-chief and shared a forward-looking vision for our future.

On Israel, Vice President Harris called for the release of the hostages and affirmed that she will always give Israel the ability to defend itself. She called out antisemitic hate, including that espoused by neo-Nazis in Charlottesville whom Trump embraced.

Donald Trump spent the entire debate performing his tired routine of grievances, bluster, insults, and lies. He was devoid of substance – providing no position on Israel and failing once again to condemn white supremacy – detached from reality, and concerned for no one but himself.

No wonder 72% of Jewish Americans support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.

Now we need to turn Kamala Harris’s debate win into victory in just 8 weeks. 

Jewish voters will play a critical role in electing Kamala Harris. With your help, we can make the difference. Tonight, it was abundantly clear that our community, our country, and our democracy can’t afford four more years of Donald Trump.

55 more days. Let’s do everything we can to defend our democracy.

Thank you,

Halie Soifer
CEO, Jewish Democratic Council of America
