Florida Dem Chair Warns Jews are Turning Republican

The Democrat party’s ‘Jewish’ cutouts have been frantically pushing the same fake polls claiming that the vast majority of Jews are voting for Kamala. (And some Jewish and non-Jewish conservatives eagerly pick up on them and refuse to hear anything different because they fit their preconceptions.) The actual situation on the ground is rather different.

Jews are a fairly small population and because much of the Jewish community is concentrated in New York, the national impact of their votes is limited. (Though state polling showed Trump beating Kamala among New York Jews.)

Florida however is another matter. There is a large Jewish population in Florida. And it’s growing more conservative. Trump may have won it in 2020.

And while the national Dems usually engage in happy talk about the Jewish vote, Florida Dem Chairwoman Nikki Fried is warning that the situation is bad.

“Nikki Fried, the Jewish chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, told Jewish canvassers in her state that the party was losing Jewish voters because of the robust Republican response to pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.

Fried said that, “what has happened since then in American politics has made a lot of our Jewish brothers and sisters start to question the Democratic Party.”

Fried said doubts about Democrats have spread beyond “Republican Jewish friends” who have historically been the “outliers” in a constituency that has long been reliably Democratic.

That breaks a major firewall within the Dems where a core part of the narrative is insisting that Jewish Republicans can only ever be a fringe.

“I hear a lot about the Squad,” she said, referring to a small grouping of progressive Democrats who are stridently critical of Israel. “I hear a lot about Kamala Harris’s policies, you know, what Joe Biden has or has not done.”

Fried said Jewish Democrats, when they canvass Jewish voters, are encountering misinformation and belief in wild rumors, such as that Harris has a relationship with Iran’s leadership.

And I give Fried credit for at least admitting that the Biden-Harris administration was not there.

Fried said she raised the campus issue with Harris when President Joe Biden was still the nominee and she had a meeting with Harris in Jacksonville, telling the vice president that Jews felt ignored by the Biden administration.

As usual, the Biden-Harris response was a speech or some remarks, but no meaningful action.

Compare that to Gov. Ron DeSantis…

Some right-leaning Jews support Donald Trump, the former president and Republican candidate, because of his record on Israel. But Fried said part of what is turning the state’s Jews toward Republicans seems to be how the Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, handled campus protests that roiled the nation last spring, dismantling pro-Palestinian encampments and threatening to expel protest leaders. (DeSantis has taken a generally heavy hand to higher education in the state, targeting the teaching of progressive ideals at public universities.)

“You hear, of course, you heard during the campus protests, ‘Oh, thank God Ron DeSantis was governor,’” she said. “I mean, how many times have each of us probably heard that over the course of the last year? And so we are losing some of our Jewish voters.”

Actions really matter more than words. Israel policy feels far away for a lot of American Jews, but mobs attacking them on campuses and in the streets show pretty clear the differences between parties.

Democrats are beginning to admit they have a Jewish problem.
