The GOP is trying to eliminate Trump-supporting Jewish voters in swing states to reduce Democrats’ advantage

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. — Rachel Weinberg calls herself first a religious Jew and then a proud American. She said she only had one choice for president: Donald Trump.

“I don’t like everything he says,” the 72-year-old retired kindergarten teacher from Michigan said when volunteer canvassers from the Republican Jewish Coalition knocked on her door on Sunday. “But I vote for Israel. This is our life. I support Israel. Trump supports Israel with his mouth and his actions.”

Weinberg’s home in West Bloomfield, in vote-rich Oakland County, was one of more than 20 that the Republican Jewish Coalition visited that morning. She also voted for Trump in the previous election.

The door-to-door outreach to Jewish voters who have historically supported Republicans is part of a new effort the group is taking this year in five presidential battleground states in hopes of gaining Trump’s advantage over the Democrat Kamala Harris In Elections on November 5.
