With four months to Election Day, Joe Biden’s presidential campaign now boasts a staffer dedicated to mobilizing Jewish voters.

Aaron Keyak, who has already been working on Biden’s campaign, is filling the role, first advertised late last month. Jewish Insider was the first to report Keyak’s appointment on Friday.

Keyak is a longtime Democratic political strategist whose work has included leading a Jewish outreach effort for Barack Obama’s successful 2012 reelection bid; cofounding Bluelight Strategies, a consulting group; and briefly heading the National Jewish Democratic Council, the lobbying group that essentially folded because of lawsuits from political adversaries.

In his new role, Keyak “will build and manage a national outreach program to support the political objectives of the campaign,” according to the job posting, which is no longer online.

2. Why not?

Other minorities have such positions, why do think Jews shouldn't have one?

3. 'to support the political objectives of the campaign,"'

Most of us know, imo.

4. And having someone specifically to reach out to the Jewish community is a bad thing?

If it isn't a bad thing, then why are you questioning the need?

5. Not 'necessary,' imo;

matter of judgment. Understandable that the campaign/party would include it.

6. Actually, IMO, given this administration, I think it is needed.

Damage has been done, so reaching out to Jews is a smart move, maybe even bring over a few of the republican ones this go around.
