Former President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the creation of “Jewish Voices for Trump,” a coalition of Jewish voices from various industries who are backing the former president in the 2024 presidential election.
The announcement comes as the Democratic Party has faced declining support among the Jewish community for years as it embraces far-Left anti-Semites like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
That decline has been accelerated over the last year following Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack on Israel and the political Left’s embrace of the Hamas terrorists in the days, weeks, and months that followed.
“United by its faith and heritage, the ‘Jewish Voices for Trump’ coalition recognizes the dangerous rise in radical leftist antisemitism in our streets and on our college campuses, and the historic achievements President Donald J. Trump made towards the strength and stability of the Jewish community, both at home and abroad,” the campaign said in a statement. “When he returns to the White House, President Trump is committed to the promise of restoring peace and prosperity, not just for the Jewish people, not just for the State of Israel, but for the entire world.”
“For those in the Jewish community who feel politically homeless, for those who have been betrayed by the Biden administration’s many flip-flops on the safety and security of the Jewish community and the State of Israel, you do have a home,” the statement continued. “It’s with the Republican Party, and with President Donald J. Trump. ‘Jewish Voices for Trump’ comes together with one voice, to make sure that President Donald J. Trump becomes the next President of the United States.”

David Friedman, Trump’s former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, highlighted how college campuses have “exploded with antisemitic protests” following the October 7 attacks and how “Iran-backed proxies represent an existential threat to the State of Israel, all because of the failed policies of the Harris-Biden administration.”
Republican Jewish Coalition CEO Matt Brooks said that the RJC was “proud to stand with the most pro-Israel President in US history, Donald J. Trump. This is the most important election of our lifetimes, and the RJC is all-in to elect President Trump and Senator Vance.”
Other Jewish voices that the campaign highlighted included Jason D. Greenblatt, former Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations; Ellie Cohanim, former Deputy Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism; Aryeh Lightstone, former Senior Advisor to the U.S. Ambassador to Israel; Elizabeth Pipko, RNC Spokeswoman; Brooke Goldstein, attorney; Josh Hammer, Newsweek; Noah Pollak, political strategist; and Dr. Sheila Nazarian, surgeon.
