Former President Donald Trump is running into criticism as he tries to court Jewish Americans to support him rather than President Joe Biden in November.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is shedding weight in the organization to emphasize quality in 2024 as opposed to the “juggernaut” nature of its 2020 try.
