Jewish Americans Get “Ready for Hillary”

by Dmitry Shapiro

While Hillary Rodham Clinton jets around the country promoting her newly released memoir “Hard Choices,” a group of prominent Jewish Democrats has placed bets on the former Secretary of State in advance of her possible run for the presidency.

Jewish Americans Ready for Hillary was launched in June as a vehicle to unite Clinton’s Jewish supporters nationally, and to encourage her to run for President in 2016. It is affiliated with the pro-Clinton Super PAC Ready for Hillary.

“Ours is a community that just knows her really, really well, and so there are already clearly millions of American Jews who support her,” says Steve Rabinowitz, one of the Jewish group’s founders who served as White House director of design and productions for President Bill Clinton.
