Vice President Kamala Harris’s declining support among Jewish voters is making headlines, as recent polling shows her backing is at its lowest level for a Democratic candidate since the 1988 election. According to Pew Research, only 65% of Jewish voters support Harris, a significant drop from the overwhelming majority typically expected for Democrats in this demographic. This drop in support reflects growing discontent among Jewish Americans regarding the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of critical issues, particularly the Hamas-Israel war and their response to pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.
For evangelical Christians and conservative voters, this shift comes as no surprise. Under the Biden-Harris administration, America's support for Israel has been inconsistent at best, and many Jewish voters are now expressing doubts about the Democratic Party’s ability to defend the Jewish state against terrorist threats. The failure to strongly condemn anti-Israel rhetoric and violence, both at home and abroad, has left many questioning the administration’s commitment to Israel, a nation with deep religious and historical significance.
In contrast, former President Donald Trump’s unwavering support for Israel has resonated deeply within the Jewish community. Trump has garnered 34% support among Jewish voters, a sharp increase compared to his performance in the 2020 election when he received 30%. This increase highlights how Trump’s strong pro-Israel stance, combined with his clear condemnation of anti-Semitic actions and protests, is winning over Jewish voters who once leaned toward the Democratic Party.
During his presidency, Trump made historic moves that solidified his bond with Israel, including the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moving the U.S. embassy there. He also brokered peace deals between Israel and several Arab nations, a feat that elevated his standing among both Jews and Christians who view these actions as fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and evidence of God’s hand in protecting Israel.
The decline in Jewish support for Harris is a sign that many in the Jewish community are waking up to the failures of the current administration. As Evangelical Christians, we stand alongside our Jewish brothers and sisters in support of Israel, and we recognize the importance of having a leader who honors America’s commitment to the Holy Land.
Donald Trump’s increase in support among Jewish voters is not just a political victory; it is a testament to his faithfulness in standing for God’s chosen people. As we look toward the 2024 election, evangelical Christians and Jewish Americans alike are rallying behind Trump, knowing that he will continue to defend Israel, promote religious freedom, and push back against the forces that seek to undermine our shared values.
The numbers don’t lie: Jewish voters are increasingly looking to Trump for leadership. The Biden-Harris administration’s failures on the world stage and their mishandling of domestic issues like pro-Palestinian protests have left a void that only a strong, decisive leader like Donald Trump can fill. As we move closer to the election, the growing alliance between Jewish and evangelical voters is poised to be a powerful force that will help return America to a place of strength and moral clarity.
