Former Democratic congressman Peter Deutsch has announced his endorsement of Donald Trump, citing the security of Israel as the driving force in his step out of party lines.
Deutsch was a featured guest in a collaborative press call put on by the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee in commemoration of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in Israel. On the call, Deutsch, who is Jewish, told listeners, "I feel very comfortable today publicly announced that I'm endorsing Donald Trump to be reelected as president and I'm planning on voting for him on Nov. 5."
