Digital billboards are going up throughout the swing state of Pennsylvania urging Jews and other pro-Israel voters to “vote wisely” and back Donald Trump for president on Nov. 5.
The billboards are sponsored by a new group called Jews for Safety & Security, co-founded by former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Dov Hikind.
“This is just the beginning. We expect up to 10 million impressions from this first round of billboards which will be displayed from this week through the election,” Hikind, a former Democrat turned Republican, told The Post.
Ten of the 15 billboards are already up along roadways in areas with considerable Jewish populations, including in Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester and Bucks counties.
At least $250,000 will be spent on the messaging, Hikind said.
The signs say:
“Do have a future in America? Only with change. Vote wisely.”
“Support Israel … Vote Trump.”
“Stop College Antisemitism …Vote Trump.”
The Jewish vote could determine who wins the Keystone State and the presidency — former President Trump, 78, or Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
Pennsylvania is considered part of the “blue wall” for Democrats to keep the presidency.
A poll conducted for the Teach Coalition over the summer found that Jews are more motivated to vote in Pennsylvania — as well as the six New York battleground House districts — because of rising antisemitism and the raging Israel-Hamas war.
Trump was pulling support from 43% of Jewish voters in the Keystone State in that Teach Coalition survey, a high figure for a Republican in what has been a Democratic-leaning constituency.
There are more than 300,000 potential Jewish voters in both Pennsylvania and the six swing House districts in New York combined.
“Jews For Safety & Security In America consists of former & current Democrats who after careful reflection have decided not to vote for the Democratic party. The decision is driven by a sad realization that the Democratic party has been infiltrated by extreme and dangerous forces which are enabling antisemitism to grow and flourish,” said Hikind, who also heads the group Americans Against Antisemitism.
He referenced the shocking Anti-Defamation League report released Sunday citing a surge of more than 10,000 incidents of antisemitism in the United States over the past year, including assaults and destruction of property.
“That may be worse than Nazi Germany in the early 1930s,” Hikind claimed.
“The Democratic party has lost its way with its silence & lip service statements that are of no consequence. We cannot remain silent.”
