RALEIGH — A vote held by the North Carolina Democratic Party failed to recognize a Jewish Caucus in which several in party leadership, including Chair Anderson Clayton, refused to vote.
The state Democratic Party already has a number of recognized affiliated organizations, including an African American Caucus, LGBTQ Caucus, Hispanic/Latinx Caucus, and Transgender Caucus, among others.
The vote failed with 16 in favor and 17 against but with a total of 16 leaders not voting at all, including Clayton.
WFAE reported that some Jewish Democrats questioned whether the party had been taken over by “the anti-Jewish left.”
