Republican Jewish Coalition

Being perceived as weak on supporting Israel appears to be a growing problem for Democrats seeking reelection.

With the Israel–Hamas war raging, the Republican Party sent a message of support to Israel by making the RJC a co-sponsor of the Nov. 8 debate.

The highlights of the long day were obviously former President Trump’s speech and what proved to be the first public event of our newly elected Speaker.

In his first public event as Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson declares: ‘There will be a ceasefire only when Hamas ceases to be a threat to Israel.’

The former president’s speech was well-received as he and seven GOP presidential rivals spoke–and one candidate made a surprise announcement.

Conference organizers say American Jews, who largely vote for Democrats, are shifting toward Republicans, who have generally been more supportive of Israel.
