Coons is said to be the figure most visibly lobbying for the job, according to Politico.
Last May, an article appeared in Jewish Insider claiming that Coons had “the inside track” for the job. It quoted a long list of Jewish leaders and politicians singing Coons’ praises, saying he would be “wonderful” for Israel, “understands the special relationship” between the two countries and would be “an excellent choice for … the pro-Israel community.”
Wonderful for Israel. Huzzah!
