JPVP Roundup | Is the Roller Coaster Rider Nearing an End?
One participant even compared this election cycle to a roller coaster. But will the ride stop on Election Day, or are we in for more twists and turns?
Deborah Pardes: I’m Not a One Issue Voter
“I wish that we had a third party that could combine the heart of the Democratic Party with the grit of the Republican Party when it comes to this issue of protecting a minority like the Jewish people.”
Jaclyn Best: Will Kamala Change Policy on Israel?
“I definitely worry about a lot of talk and potentially not a lot of action, and I also know a majority of Congress keeps agreeing to send money and weapons over to Israel, even while condemning Israel’s actions.”
Josh Mandelbaum: Trump’s Negativity
“I continue to worry about the fundamental attacks on our institutions and how our democracy is run.”
Abby Schachter: A Foreign Policy Election
“Harris was not strong on foreign policy as a presidential candidate, and she was not selected by President Biden to be his running mate based on her foreign policy credentials.”
Leah Kiser: A Trump Election Would Mortally Wound Democracy
“If Trump wins, I will have to send at least two of my kids—one is gay and one is trans— out of the country immediately, and then try to figure out how to follow myself. “
Deb Kolodny: Hopeful for the Democratic Agenda
“I felt that the administration had kept Harris in the shadows even more than most vice presidents. But she’s come out of the gate with such vigor and brilliance, and her choice for VP is spectacular.”
Eva R. Cohen: Positive and Forward-Looking
“And I think she is someone who is committed to a vision of American prosperity and multiculturalism and the kind of positive, forward-looking, amazing things that resonate with people who share my values.”
Adam Witkov: Undecided, but Definitely Not Trump
“I haven’t made up my mind, but I won’t vote for Trump. I’ll always vote, though, so it’s either Harris or writing-in one of my best friends.”
Diana Leygerman: Trump Would be a Disaster for American and for Israel
“I don’t think Trump cares about Israel or anything but himself.”
Meirav Solomon: Harris the Only Choice on Israel
“Having a relationship with Israel doesn’t mean saying yes to everything all the time. That’s not what we’re trying to do. I believe Harris can stand up in a way that Trump wouldn’t.”
Don Cohen: Trump is a Nonstarter
“My biggest fear is basically that the United States becomes rudderless and caters to division instead of governing.”
