Top Story with Jonathan Tobin: Would Jews prefer Trump or DeSantis in 2024?

The midterm elections have left Americans more divided than ever. Tobin is joined by journalist Heather Robinson, who covered some of the key races in New York and Pennsylvania for JNS. Robinson discusses how New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin had a much better than usual showing for a Republican. The two explain that while Zeldin was able to get strong support from fellow Jews because of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s failures on crime, non-Orthodox Jewish women seemed to have rallied to the Democrats because of the abortion issue. Tobin and Robinson also break down various races in Pennsylvania which saw Jewish voters reject a Republican gubernatorial candidate because of his connections to an antisemite but then fail to defeat a Democratic congresswoman who is an opponent of Israel.
