In reply to the discussion: Zohran Mamdani supported the Uncommitted movement against Joe Biden? [View all]vanessa_ca
(269 posts)121. They do? So let's talk about how Trump got 35% of the Jewish vote
As long as we're wildly throwing stones around, let's throw some factual ones. Instead of manufacturing outrage because some people went uncommitted for the Primary, let's talk about people who went fully committed FOR Trump for the General election.
Such transparent bullshit being tossed around in this thread by the same loud centrist minority.
Washington, DC - The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement on Pew Research's comprehensive report showcasing President Donald J. Trump's historic success with Jewish voters in the 2024 election. The Jewish community was a significant part of his decisive winning coalition:
RJC CEO Matt Brooks said:
The Pew Research Center's comprehensive report, Behind Trumps 2024 Victory, a More Racially and Ethnically Diverse Voter Coalition, confirms yet again what the RJC has been consistently saying: cycle after cycle, more and more Jewish Americans are moving to the GOP--and 2024 was no different.
The results are clear: President Trump received 35% of the national Jewish vote, the highest percentage for a Republican for President since the 1980's, and an historic hemorrhaging of support from the Democrats.
The 2024 election represents a 15%(!) swing in President Trump's favor in the Jewish community.
Notably, 31% of Jewish voters identified as Republicans in the Pew survey, which is the highest percentage on record.
The RJC is proud to have played a significant role in driving more Jewish voters to President Trump and the GOP, and our work continues!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

People seem to forget the Uncommitted Movement was in the primaries as a way to try to influence candidates on Gaza.

Once a voter has been convinced to disengage from the primary, they're not returning for the General.

I know a lot of people had hurt feelings about it, but the uncommitted movement was not "against" Biden.

The point of "uncommitted" is that people DID vote in the primary, participating in all races but voting "uncommitted"

Once they declared themselves as "uncommitted" in the Primaries they never returned for the General.

It was also against VP Harris because the Uncommitted Movement refused to endorse VP Harris

The shame is in not ever speaking out about the war crimes and atrocities. Not in Biden's time and not now.

I agree. This is what people SHOULD actually be worried about. Not Mamdani or anything related to him.

Cuomo would be splitting votes with Adams, leaving Mamdani a pathway to victory.
