Former President Donald Trump continues to gain momentum in the swing states that tend to decide presidential elections.
In a recent interview, a lifetime Democrat voter in Pennsylvania said he is ditching the Party and voting for the former president.
Steve Rosenberg said that part of the reason for his vote was the extremist ideologies he sees with his former Party and said that there is only “one candidate” for Jewish voters.
“If you’re a Jew, if you’re pro-Israel, there’s only one candidate here,” he said to Fox News host Dana Perino. “Actions speak louder than words. Kamala Harris has surrounded herself with some of the worst Jew haters that there are. Maher Bitar… Philip Gordon, Ilan Goldenberg’s got a nice name, but if you look at their records, they are pro-Iran. They are not pro-Israel,” he said when he spoke on the Fox News show “America’s Newsroom.”
“To me, all the other issues that are on the table, whether you be climate-oriented, abortion-oriented, whatever your orientation is, if you are not focused on being a Jew and being pro-Israel right now, we are in the fight for our literal lives,” the voter said.
“And all those issues won’t be there if we’re dead in four years. They’re trying to kill us,” Rosenberg added.
And even as Jewish voters tend to vote Democrat he predicted that there would be a switch in this election.
“Some are afraid to say that they’re going to support Donald Trump for whatever the reasons are,” he said. “And there are some that still say things like, ‘I would never vote for a Republican. I would never vote for Donald Trump.’ They’re worried about what happened on January 6th, which is insanity to me, because they’re not worried about what happens in the country every single day, which is 10 times worse than January 6th.”
“If you are a Jew and you are worried and not worried about your literal existence, then I don’t know what else to tell you,” Rosenberg noted.
It follows more tough news that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat nominee for president, got from The Keystone State.
A top Democrat in the Senate believes that his Party’s presidential nominee needs to be concerned about the “special connection” that former President Trump has with the people of Pennsylvania after the failed attempt on his life.
Sen. John Fetterman attended the 2024 Atlantic Festival on Thursday where he spoke to The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg and issued the warning, Fox News reported.
“Trump has created a special kind of hold within the coronet he’s remade – the party – and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania, and I think that only deepened after the first assassination attempt,” the senator said.
I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there are kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania — and people are very committed and strong,” he said. “And I joked that his signs became like the state flower – and you see that everywhere.”
The polls currently suggest that the vice president has a slight lead in the state but the former president is gaining on her.
But the senator said he was skeptical of the polls that show the vice president in the lead as he mentioned the seven-point lead that former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton had in the polls in 2016.
“Everybody thought that it was in the bag, but that’s not the energy and the other kinds of things that were really consistent with what I’m witnessing all across,” he said. “And then, sadly, we saw what happened.”
“People understand who he is and what he’s about, and enough people think that that’s the feature, and it’s not a bug,” he said.
