Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent statement seemingly endorsing a false narrative accusing Israel of genocide has sparked outrage among Jewish voters, who feel abandoned by the Democratic Party.

As the US 2024 presidential election approaches, Jewish voters in key battleground states are caught in a complex political landscape. While many remain loyal to the Democratic Party, a growing number express concerns about the party’s stance on Israel and the war in Gaza, prompting some to consider voting for Republican Donald Trump. This shift, driven by anxieties about rising antisemitism and the perceived weakness of the Biden administration towards Iran, highlights the evolving dynamics of Jewish political engagement in the upcoming election.

Former President Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, accusing him of “totally abandoning Israel” and enabling pro-Palestinian protesters.

Although the majority of Jews still identify as Democrats, their alignment with the party has declined in recent years, with a potential impact on close election races. Trump’s allegations that Biden’s frustration with Israel has led to an increase in antisemitic displays on college campuses have drawn sharp criticism from Jewish leaders, who accuse the former president of fueling antisemitism.
