JTA — The Kushner-Trump family drama continues: Karlie Kloss, the wife of Joshua Kushner — brother to US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner — is helping out Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
Kloss, the supermodel who converted to Judaism in the process of marrying (and now loves Shabbat) will join Biden and Reshma Saujani, founder of the Girls Who Code nonprofit, for an event Thursday on young women and STEAM — or science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (the A for arts is an addition to the traditional STEM acronym, included to foster “inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking”).
“For those who know Karlie, this event makes a lot of sense,” an unnamed source told People on Wednesday. “She cares deeply about the future of women in STEAM and has always supported the candidates who stand for the issues she’s passionate about.”
Kloss and Joshua Kushner haven’t shied away from their support of Democratic causes in the past; the younger Kushner even attended a Women’s March in 2017.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
