Former President Donald Trump and other Republican candidates have a chance to win a record share of Jewish votes in the upcoming elections, according to strategists for Trump’s campaign. Historically, Democrats receive around 70% or more of the Jewish vote, while Republicans secure about 30% or less. However, growing concerns over rising anti-Semitism and left-leaning Democrat hostility towards Israel could drive more Jewish voters to support Republican candidates this year. Polls indicate that Trump is garnering significant support among Jewish voters in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. The potential shift in Jewish votes could have a significant impact on the Electoral College, especially considering President Biden’s narrow victory over Trump in these states during the 2020 election.
