American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutch, a former Democratic congressman, said the midterm campaign left deep scars on American Jews. "This campaign season has been deeply painful for the American Jewish community," he said. "We have been told we don't belong in political spaces."
Rep. Mike Lawler, who represents Rockland County and its large frum communities, conceded to Democrat Cait Conley before the count was complete, saying "we're going to be short." An exit poll showed Jewish voters favoring Democrats 67% to 32%, in line with recent cycles.
