There are 27 Jewish members of Congress, 25 of them are Democrats, and only 2 are Republicans. There are only 9 Jewish members serving in the Senate, and yep, you guest it, they are all Democrats.
Dems have carried the Jewish vote in 24 consecutive presidential elections, dating back to 1924. In six of the last seven presidential elections, the Jewish vote was more than 70 percent Democratic (the one exception was in 2012, when Barack Obama won 69 percent of the Jewish vote). Hillary trounced Trump among Jews by a 71/24 margin. 2018 exit polls showed 79 percent of Jews voting Democratic in the midterms.
American Jews are naturally suspicious of the white Christian nationalism Trump keeps flirting with, which is historically associated with anti-Semitism. After all, a lot of the fervent support for Bibi and a Greater Israel in evangelical circles, is grounded in hopes that the Middle East will be consumed in an apocalyptic war that will inaugurate the end times that evangelicals dream of, and give Jews two options: conversion to Christianity or be condemned to eternal he//.
