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.”

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
