The Republican nominee for U.S. Senate predicted in an interview, “We’re going to win most of the Jewish vote all over the state”.
Larry Hogan visits the Essen Room, a Jewish deli in Pikesville, Md., on June 11. Gloria Greenspun was prepared to dismiss Republican Larry Hogan as a “typical politician” when he visited her retirement complex outside Baltimore to sell his campaign for the U.S. Senate.
“We’re going to win most of the Jewish vote all over the state,” Hogan said in an interview with The Post. “No one’s standing up more for Israel than I am.”Alsobrooks’s allies say they’re confident Jewish voters will reject the Republican, especially with Trump on the ballot “I like his support of Israel. It’s one of the boxes he has to check off,” said Frank Rodbell, 87, a Jewish Democrat in the audience in Pikesville. “But it’s only one box.”
Hogan himself reminds Jewish audiences that Van Hollen is an Alsobrooks ally, describing him as Washington’s “most hostile, anti-Israel senator.” Hogan, in his interview with The Post, went so far as to refer to Van Hollen as Alsobrooks’ campaign “chairman,” though the senator holds no such title. Hogan’s spokesperson later said he was speaking “figuratively.
Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt, of Congregation B’nai Tzedek in Potomac, who was among those who signed the letter chidingBut Rabbi Marc Israel, of Tikvat Israel, a Rockville congregation, said the antipathy toward Van Hollen among Jews “is not universal” and he doubted the senator’s alliance with Alsobrooks would damage her. Jewish voters, the rabbi said, have “never been a single-issue constituency.”
