The biggest highlight from an American-Jewish perspective was perhaps in Pennsylvania, where Jewish Democrat Josh Shapiro triumphed over Donald Trump-endorsed Doug Mastriano in the state’s much-publicized gubernatorial race.
Throughout the campaign, Shapiro had highlighted his Jewish faith as central to his views on governing. Mastriano, meanwhile, had accused him of being out of touch with ordinary people – implicitly citing as evidence Shapiro’s active participation in the Jewish community and the fact that his children attend a private Jewish day school.
