Alan Dershowitz Registers as Republican After 67 Years as Democrat
Dershowitz said the Democratic Party is no longer sufficiently supportive of Israel and pledged to back Republican candidates and urge pro-Israel voters to switch parties.
- Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz officially registered as a Republican on Monday, ending his 67-year affiliation with the Democratic Party announced in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.
- Dershowitz cited the Democratic Party's perceived "hostility" toward Israel and a shift toward "radical" ideology as primary reasons for departing the party he once supported.
- Despite his 67-year history as a registered Democrat, Dershowitz decided to "bite the bullet" and register as a Republican, though he still disagrees with the GOP on abortion and healthcare.
- To prevent Democrats from regaining power, Dershowitz pledged to campaign for Republicans in the 2026 midterms, saying he was "totally frightened" by the prospect of Democratic control in the House and Senate.
- Citing recent votes for arms embargoes against Israel and the rise of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate race, Dershowitz argued the Democratic Party has become increasingly anti-Israel.
