Donald Trump saw a whopping 50% increase in his support among Jewish voters in New York on Tuesday, compared to the last presidential election, polls show.
Roughly 45% of Empire State voters who identify as Jewish cast their ballots for the Republican nominee in 2024 — compared to just 30% who chose him as their candidate in 2020, according to Fox News exit polls.
Vice President Kamala Harris scored 55% of the Empire State’s Jewish vote, marking a drastic decrease from the 69% President Biden took home in his winning bid for the highest office four years ago.
“I’m so so proud of Jewish turnout across the country. We are getting early reports in and huge groundbreaking numbers,” Maury Litwack, from the Teach Coalition, who was polling Jewish voters in New York House races and in battleground states, said on X.
In another post, Litwack said Jewish voters were throwing their support behind Republicans after finding distrust in the Democratic party’s handling of the rise in antisemitism across the US and on college campuses amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
“I can point to numerous examples of candidates taking terrible positions on antisemitism or staying silent on antisemitism that have cost them their races this cycle,” the Jewish voting advocate said.
The fury of Jewish voters and activists already proved pivotal in Democratic primary elections in recent months — “Squad” Rep. Jamaal Bowman was ousted from New York’s 16th Congressional District, as well as fellow lefty Rep. Cori Bush in Missouri.

The Republican Jewish Coalition spent a record-breaking $15 million this election cycle in support of Trump, with the group alleging that Harris stands with progressive values and not with Jewish voters.
