Jewish Law Professor Shifts to GOP Over Democratic Party's Israel Stance

Rona Kaufman, disillusioned by perceived anti-Israel sentiment within the Democratic Party, plans to vote Republican for the first time.

Rona Kaufman, a feminist and Zionist, feels betrayed by the Democratic Party's tolerance of anti-Israel rhetoric.
Her decision to vote Republican is influenced by the Democratic Party's division over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Kaufman admires Republican candidates Dave McCormick and James Hayes for their strong pro-Israel positions.
The Democratic Party's response to the October 7 Hamas attacks has further alienated Kaufman and others like her.
Kaufman's family history and her daughter's experiences in Israel have intensified her pro-Israel stance.
