Former President Donald Trump has said that Jewish-American voters could bear some responsibility if he loses the upcoming presidential election. Speaking at the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Washington, D.C., Trump claimed that Jewish voters tend to support Democrats, which could impact his chances in the November 5 election. He warned that if his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, wins, Israel might "cease to exist within two years."

Trump expressed frustration over polling data that showed Harris receiving 60% of support from American Jews. He emphasized his policies toward Israel, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and stated that he should be receiving "100 percent" of the Jewish vote. Trump called himself the “best friend” Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House.

Jewish voters in the U.S. have historically leaned toward Democrats, but Trump’s campaign is focusing on key battleground states like Pennsylvania, which has a significant Jewish population. The Harris campaign criticized Trump for past associations with figures accused of antisemitism.
