Antisemitism, Israel and Jewish candidates are front and center in many of the seven swing states where either candidate could prevail in the 2024 presidential election.
Those states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
And while the percentage of Jewish voters is small compared to the overall electorate, the number of Jewish voters in many of these states exceeds the number of voters who determined the winner in the 2020 presidential race.
Because Jewish voters are more likely to be Democrats, Republicans are making an extra effort to chip away at their impact and maximize Jewish GOP turnout. The Republican Jewish Coalition is spending $10 million to corral Jewish votes in swing states; the Jewish Democratic Council of America is spending $2 million on the election.
