    "There’s a different question being asked, largely in #Democratic circles, of today’s #Jewish #presidential# candidates: “Is he the ‘right’ kind of Jewish #candidate to be #president?” — a question that is almost entirely centered around a candidate’s position on #Israel and how openly he identifies with his #religious #faith.

    A long list of Jewish candidates are considering a presidential campaign or are being touted as credible contenders, ranging from moderates like #Pennsylvania #Gov. #JoshShapiro, #Sen. #ElissaSlotkin (D- #MI) and former #Chicago #Mayor #RahmEmanuel to #progressives like #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker and those who straddle the ideological divide, like Sen. #JonOssoff (D- #GA)."

    "#CNN anchor #ElexMichaelson raised eyebrows this week with his closing comment moderating a panel discussion on possible contenders in the 2028 #DemocraticParty presidential primary, offering his take on what might differentiate Sen. #JonOssoff (D-GA) from #Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro (D) – how #Jewish they “read” to voters.

    As the Tuesday evening conversation wound down, panelist and YouTuber #EricMessersmith argued, “But on the Jewish thing, because he is Jewish, he might be the #Democrat that can thread the needle. Because even though he’s Jewish, he’s very critical of the #Israeli government, very critical of #BenjaminNetanyahu. He has credibility on that issue. So it’s possible—I think he could fill that lane in between the two extremes of the #DemocraticParty.”

    #Michaelson then wrapped up the discussion, “Yeah, as a #Jew, some people read a little more Jewish than other people, and John Ossoff may not read as Jewish as Josh Shapiro does[...]"
