Trump Faces Backlash Over Antisemitic Remarks

Former President Donald Trump has come under sharp criticism from the White House and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for making antisemitic remarks. Trump referred to Shapiro as a 'highly overrated Jewish Governor' on Truth Social following Shapiro's speech at the Democratic National Convention. The White House condemned Trump's comments as 'antisemitic, dangerous, and hurtful,' while Shapiro accused Trump of being obsessed with him and spreading hate. Trump defended his record on Israel, claiming he has done more for Israel and the Jewish people than any other president, a statement he has made before while criticizing Jewish Democrats. Shapiro, in turn, emphasized that antisemitism did not influence Vice President Kamala Harris's decision to choose another running mate over him, countering Trump's assertions.
