WATCH: Jewish conservatives make the case for Kamala

October 15, 2024

Yesterday, over 1,000 people participated in JDCA’s Jewish Conservatives for Kamala event, where prominent Jewish conservatives Bill Kristol, editor-at-large of The Bulwark, and Dr. Eliot Cohen, national security expert, made the conservative case for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.

It’s not every day that JDCA partners with conservative leaders, but these are not normal circumstances. As former chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Milley said this weekend, Donald Trump is “a fascist to the core.” Dr. Cohen, who was a senior advisor to Condoleezza Rice in the George W. Bush administration, told us yesterday, “I have infinitely more confidence in Kamala Harris than I do in Donald Trump,” and that the Biden-Harris administration’s Israel policy has been “remarkable.” Bill Kristol warned that Republicans have removed all guardrails for Trump’s anti-democratic extremism and that a second Trump term would be “more dangerous” than the first.

You might have friends who are still undecided or have questions about Kamala Harris’s foreign policy. This event was for them. If they missed it, please forward the email and urge them to watch. They need to hear these two former Republicans, who remain conservative, urging them to vote for Harris for the good of America and Israel.

Ben Wikler, head of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said we should not think about the ‘margin of error,’ but rather the ‘margin of effort.’ Election day is in three weeks and JDCA is providing you with ample opportunities to take action to GOTJV – Get Out the Jewish Vote.
