Trump claims that Jews who vote for Democrats "hate Israel" and their religion. The comments sparked immediate reaction from the White House, President Joe Biden's campaign and Jewish leaders.
The vast majority of American Jews identify as Democrats, but Trump has often accused them of disloyalty, perpetuating what his critics consider an anti-Semitic position. Trump's comments come as Biden faces growing pressure from the progressive wing of his party over his administration's support for Israel in its Gaza offensive. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
