Despite being longtime supporters of Democrats, the Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Joel, HaRav Aharon Teitelbaum shlit”a, has announced his chassidus’ endorsement of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, Arutz 7 reports.
The report claims the reason was concerns over the potential implications of a Kamala Harris presidency for Jews.
YWN has not confirmed the veracity of this report.
Following extensive discussions within the chassidus, the decision to back Trump is expected to mobilize tens of thousands of additional votes in New York and beyond. To assist chassidim, Satmar will provide free transportation to polling stations for early voting.
Meanwhile, the second faction of Satmar, led by Rav Zalman Leib Teitelbaum shlit”a, has not yet issued an official endorsement, though a similar endorsement is expected to be forthcoming.

I don’t get it, it says that his SECT is supporting Trump, not that he announced an endorsement.
Kiryas Joel delivered 98% vote for Trump in 2020, it’ll do the same this year, this is not newsworthy.
Just another right wing BIG LIE from YWN . . .
1. The Rebbe did NOT endorse the fascist, yes it’s the Kehila leaders which endorsed him.
2. To your surprise, the list down they endorsed are ALL democrats.
3. They usually endorse the likely winning candidate (some exceptions), which I wholeheartedly hope that they are wrong this time around. This vulgar white supramicicst should end up behind bars.
4. At least once in a blue moon, the Satmar hating YWN has positive reporting on Satmar . . .
5. Last but not least, he had these votes in ’20, but Biden is the white house.
CPR,
Newsworthy because it makes YWN feel important.
Big mistake
Harris is more for education and family tax refunds
Trump says he help Israel cause of literal ey a billion dollars of Jewish money and will not make it better for Israel one cent
An evangelical
trump is an aroini?
The Democrats are increasingly fanaticly anti-religious (all religions, not just Jews). Note the recent lawsuits to destroy yeshivos, not to mention the Democrats making an issue out of the right of the government to “change” a child’s gender without the parents permission, Harris and Walz are part of the “defund the police” movement, and without good cooperation from the police we’ll be forced to take greater control of our own security (e.g. form an armed militia). Itis hard to imagine any frum Yidden being comfortable in the part of the WOKE movement, though some local DINOs are still important to us and merit support.
Note that the article is based on a non-Hareidi, very zionist, source, whose reliability in reporting news of the frum community is questionable.
@akuperma
Are you sure you finished spewing all far right vomit?
pure yiddishkeit- no, Trump is Chabad. Did you miss his visit to the Ohel?
FaceIt: Actually are not all the far right, I’m basically a RINO who approved of Republicans such as Rockefeller and Reagan, and remember the days where anyone opposed to the existence of religious schools, or advocating to ban bris millah, would be considered a fanatic right winger with subtle Nazi tendencies. And I remember when the Democrats were the party the supported all ethnic minorities (except for Blacks, prior to the late 20th century when the Democrats finally rejected Jim Crow, which the Republicans had always opposed), – in contrast to today where the Democrats support “affirmative action” in favor of their friends and partisans, and the Republicans nominees are both married to members of ethnic groups that 100 years ago were considered racially inferior.
@ says. Harris is for nothing, Trump is for everything.
If the Election Results are anywhere near some outrageous majority like the high 90’s or 100%, Attorney General Letitia James should do an investigation and audit the results for social intimidation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
