RJC Ramps Up Efforts for Jewish Voter Support

As the November 5 election nears, the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) is intensifying efforts to mobilize Jewish voters, especially those who have historically supported Republicans, in key battleground states like Michigan. Despite Jewish voters traditionally leaning Democratic, with 70% supporting Biden in 2020, the RJC aims to increase support for Donald Trump, particularly amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict that has deepened community divisions. In Michigan, Jewish voters make up only 2% of the electorate, yet the RJC hopes the 15,000 new Jewish Republican voters could be pivotal in a tight race. Their strategy includes targeted canvassing and digital advertising in areas with significant Jewish populations, such as Oakland County. Meanwhile, American Republicans in Israel are also being mobilized to influence swing states, with efforts focusing on absentee ballot returns. These initiatives underscore the high stakes as the election approaches, with both domestic and overseas Republican groups seeking to sway Jewish voter turnout in favor of Trump.
