Jewish voters who back President Biden have come under fire from Trump, who said they “should have their head examined.”
He opposed Biden’s stance on transgender rights and his response to the Israel-Hamas conflict, framing Election Day as a referendum on the viability of Christianity in America. In reaction to the transgender Day of Visibility, Trump suggested that Election Day be observed as Christian Visibility Day and accused Biden of forsaking Israel.
Trump, whose rise in 2016 was largely dependent on white Christian conservatives, said that Biden “has completely lost control of the Israel situation.” “Any Jew who endorses Biden or a Democrat ought to think twice before doing so.”
Following Biden‘s recent warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump made statements that tied future U.S. support for Israel’s Gaza fight to the swift adoption of new security protocols to protect civilians and relief workers.
The Gaza situation has placed Biden in opposition to both progressive organizations and conservative Christian and Jewish groups that are calling for steadfast support of Netanyahu’s administration. This is especially important to conservative Christians, who make up a large portion of Trump’s base of support. They see Israel as the modern-day manifestation of God’s chosen people, the Israelites, as they are portrayed in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

But the majority of progressives on Biden’s left flank are incensed by Israel’s response in Gaza, which has resulted in hundreds of Palestinian deaths. The president has confronted demonstrators on each of his springtime excursions, and in spite of his certain renomination, organizers have orchestrated votes against Biden in other Democratic primaries.
James Singer, a spokesperson for Biden, stated, “Jewish Americans do not need to be’spoken to’ or threatened by Donald Trump.” This is what Trump does; he uses hatred and division as political tools to further his own agenda. In November, voters of all colors will reject his anarchy, bloodshed, and insane threats once more.
In Georgia, Trump further fueled his Christian base by framing the election’s outcome in terms of religion.
“November 5th is going to be Christian Visibility Day—the most important day in our nation’s history,” Trump declared, emphasizing the word once more.
“Churches are going to come out, and they’re going to vote like never before,” he said.
The former president was acknowledging the outrage that conservative Christians felt at Biden’s acknowledgment of the International Transgender Day of Visibility, a global celebration of transgender people and awareness of their difficulties.
