Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) argued that President-elect Donald Trump’s uptick in support from Jewish voters is part of a “realignment” happening among voters, as the voting bloc is living in dangerous times.
Following Trump’s victory against Vice President Kamala Harris, in which Fox News host Harris Faulkner said Trump may have gotten “as much as 40% more of the Jewish vote” this election cycle, Stefanik cited the work the former president conducted during his first term in the White House to support Israel. The Republican congresswoman argued that Trump’s work contrasts greatly against the Biden-Harris administration, which was in power during Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack and the subsequent rampant antisemitism displayed on college campuses in the United States.
