Jewish Democrats have urged the Senate to confirm Dr. Deborah Lipstadt since President Biden nominated her to serve as Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. After 186 days, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee finally overcame months of Republican obstruction and announced it would hold a hearing and a subsequent committee vote on her nomination.

We are proud that the strong advocacy of Jewish Dems, along with that of many other organizations who finally said “enough is enough,” led to the end of the GOP's obstruction of this vital nomination process. We are now one step closer to Dr. Lipstadt serving in this incredibly important role, but our work hasn't ended. We cannot let Republicans off the hook for imperilling Jewish lives by playing politics with antisemitism and we must continue to urge the Senate to confirm Dr. Lipstadt.

Now more than ever, we must address the growing threat of antisemitism. Dr. Lipstadt is an esteemed scholar of both Holocaust and Jewish studies and is the perfect nominee to serve in this essential position.

Combating antisemitism is a top priority for Jewish Democrats and the Biden-Harris administration. Dr. Lipstadt has dedicated her life to fighting back against Holocaust denial, antisemitism, and misinformation that negatively affects the Jewish community. She is eminently qualified to serve in this role. Now that a committee vote was finally held, we urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Dr. Lipstadt and send a clear message that antisemitism, bigotry, xenophobia, and racism have no place in the United States of America or around the world.
