Joe Loses Israel
Rep. Steve Israel, in charge of raising money from Jews for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has previously told the Forward that a Lieberman loss would be bad for the party. But now that the voters have spoken in CT, here’s what he has to say:
“I consider Senator Joe Lieberman a friend and always will. But I also respect the decision of Connecticut voters and the Democratic process and support the Democratic candidate, Ned Lamont. I look forward to working for real and fundamental change in the next Congress.”
