$5 million donation to Donald Trump from the Republican Jewish Coalition
Fox News reports that one of the most prominent Jewish organizations—the Republican Jewish Coalition—has just supported former President Trump's presidential campaign. The donation is in addition to the $15 million independent expenditure.
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) declared it will donate a minimum of $5 million additional raise further to support the presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump. Fox News reports that the donation comes from the donors and RJC Victory Fund super PAC. On Fox News, Sam Markstein, RJC's national political director, mentioned that this "will be the RJC's largest effort ever to mobilize support in the Jewish community for President Trump." Moreover, the money is added to $15 million "independent expenditure," the most prominent independent spending in the group's history.
Sam Markstein further expanded on Fox News about the pro-Palestinian protests in the United States, which he linked to antisemitism. He blamed Joe Biden for the current political mood in the country. It is read, "As antisemitism spikes to record highs and America's relationship with our ally Israel continues to reach new lows, the Jewish community is more energized than ever to turn the page from the failures, broken promises, and betrayals by Joe Biden. November 5 cannot come soon enough."
It's not the first time RJC has voiced its support toward former President Donald Trump. On March 6th, lobbying RJC released a statement supporting the candidature of the former president, contrasting the political and military situation in the international arena during President Biden's presidency to the vision of President Trump's possible future term. The statement follows: "Donald J. Trump is the trusted friend we need in these perilous times." Furthermore, RJC seems to believe that Donald Trump is a person who can guarantee "prosperity, security, and peace through strength." Former President Trump has been a frequent guest during the RJC conferences and meetings, gathering his support and transforming the meetings into political scenes.
Donald Trump's instability
In 2015, during his presidential campaign, the candidate of the Republican party, Donald Trump, mockingly argued at the RJC convention that he did not need their money since he had been vastly financing his campaign. He told them, "You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money. If I wanted your money, I think I’d have a damned good chance. You know the money I have turned down?"
Former President Donald Trump has not yet responded to the aid he has been granted. However, it remains unknown if he will address the words he released nine years ago about not needing financial support from a Jewish lobbying group.
