The Exodus Movement, formerly Jexodus, is a right-wing group urging Jews to leave the Democratic Party. Through 2020 the opening quoted the group's mission statement, "the simple, formerly non-controversial idea that Anti-Semitism must never be mainstreamed by the media or by any political party," and explained that the name change followed ridicule of "Jexodus." Today's opening carries neither passage, though antisemitism survives three times in the body. A reader today does not learn the organization's own stated reason for existing or why it changed its name.

The opening as it read in 2020
It was launched in early March 2019 at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The Jexodus website says "Jexodus is a non-partisan nonprofit that unites people of good will – regardless of faith, ethnicity, identity, and political affiliation – around the simple, formerly non-controversial idea that Anti-Semitism must never be mainstreamed by the media or by any political party." The organization was started by Jeff Ballabon , an advisor to Donald Trump and a Republican Party lobbyist. Elizabeth Pipko , a Trump supporter, is the group's spokesperson. Jexodus has been criticized as "likely a clumsy astroturf effort rather than an actual grassroots movement", in part because the Jexodus website was registered November 5, 2018 – before the congressional election and before those representatives it accused of anti-Semitism had even been elected. On March 12, 2019, Trump tweeted his support of the movement. Jexodus has been described as “far right” by Haaretz and as "fringe" by Yahoo!1 While Pipko acknowledges that "overwhelmingly, the Jewish people have supported Democrats over the years," she believes that the Republican Party can make inroads. In the 2018 midterm election 79% of Jewish voters supported Democratic candidates. The name change came after widespread ridicule of the name "Jexodus" for the redundancy of calling for a "Jewish Exodus" when The Exodus was Jewish to begin with. The New York Times . "Trump promotes model's fringe 'Jexodus' campaign encouraging Jews to leave Democratic Party" .2
