Donald Trump

President-elect Donald Trump was the Republican nominee for a third consecutive U.S. election, after losing his re-election bid in 2020 and being convicted of 34 felonies in May 2024. Trump has won favor among some pro-Israel Jews for his track record on Israel. He has stated that any Jew who votes for Democrats “hates their religion,” drawing allegations of antisemitism from Jewish Democrats.
