Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) traveled to Georgia on Tuesday to headline a Jewish outreach event for Vice President Kamala Harriss campaign in the critical swing state.
The event in Atlanta included remarks by both Torres and Ilan Goldenberg, the Harris campaigns Jewish liaison. It was purportedly the first time a Democratic presidential campaign has held a dedicated Jewish outreach event in Atlanta. Ensuring support among the states Jewish community of around 140,000 could be critical to a Harris victory; President Joe Biden won the state by less than 12,000 votes.
The event had 170 attendees, and Georgia state Rep. Esther Panitch, who was in attendance and introduced the speakers, described it to Jewish Insider as standing-room-only.
People really wanted to know, they wanted to feel comfortable or know if they could feel comfortable voting for Harris related to Israel and Jewish issues, Panitch said. And the rousing applause at the end made it seem that the message was conveyed that she is the best for Israel
and for Jewish issues in the United States. It was the New York congressmans first trip as an official Harris campaign surrogate.

(9,326 posts). . . why do Biden and Harris want to restrain Israel taking out Iran's nuclear weapons facility? I mean, a fundamentalist government with the goal of eliminating Jews and then Christians and establishing a world-wide Caliphate, who worship death and martyrdom . . . What could possibly go wrong if they have nukes?
