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.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and the protests on college campuses.
