Former Democratic lawmaker Peter Deutsch endorses Trump
By Laura Harris // Oct 10, 2024

Former Rep. Peter Deutsch (D-FL) has officially endorsed former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, driven by his desire for world peace.

In a press call organized by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee on Monday, Oct. 7, the anniversary of the Hamas attack, Deutsch officially announced his support for the former president. Deutsch represented South Florida's 20th Congressional District from 1993-2005,

"I feel very comfortable today publicly announcing that I'm endorsing Donald Trump to be reelected as president and I'm planning on voting for him on Nov. 5," he said on Monday.

Deutsch, a Jew who divides his time between Florida and Israel, stated that Trump's tough stance on Iran, along with his recent comments advocating for Israel to take action against the nuclear facilities of Iran, contradicts the lenient policies of the Biden-Harris administration.

"Their policies toward Iran make the world a dramatically less safe place," Deutsch said during the call. "It's not just about what is happening in the Middle East. It's literally about the homeland. It's about Israel. Iran, their enemy is not just Israel – their enemy remains the United States. They still want to destroy the United States."

The former lawmaker argued that the lenient approach of the Biden-Harris administration toward Iran has weakened global security, particularly for Israel and the United States. He also claimed these policies have emboldened Iran. He then compared the current administration and its approach to that of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policies before World War II.

Deutsch revealed that he would endorse Trump because of his desire for "world peace" and so, he called on Americans to make the same choice.

"For what I believe is the most important job of the president of the United States, which is trying to retain peace in the world, there is an extraordinarily clear choice that I think every American, hopefully, will come to the same conclusion that I have, that President Trump should become the next president the United States," Deutsch said. "I take this decision very, very seriously. I also feel 100 percent comfortable with the decision."

Other Democrats have also endorsed Trump

Deutsch adds to the list of the Democratic Party members who endorsed Trump.

In September, Amer Ghalib, the Democratic and Arab American mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, endorsed Trump for reelection, thanks to the former president's opposition to more taxpayer funding for new wars.

"President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles," he stated, claiming that Trump promised him that he would end the escalating wars in the Middle East if elected as president in November. "Though it's looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I'll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I'm ready to face the consequences."

"For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump," Ghalib posted on Facebook on Sept. 22 to officially endorse Trump.

Then-independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also withdrew his campaign and endorsed Trump in a press conference in August. Kennedy explained that polls showed his candidacy would hurt Trump and boost Harris' campaign, so he decided to drop out. Additionally, he claimed that other reasons such as free speech, the conflict in Ukraine and "a war on our children" affected his decision.

"These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump," said Kennedy at a Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona, where he joined the former president in front of a cheering crowd.
