Democratic Jewish voters in swing states like Pennsylvania may play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. While 70% of Jews voted for Joe Biden in 2020, surveys suggest that this number may decrease in 2024. The key question is whether Jewish voters will prioritize the issue of Israel when casting their votes. Some argue that Jews are not single-issue voters and are concerned with a range of issues that affect them as Americans. However, historical examples, such as Jimmy Carter's decline in Jewish support in 1980 due to his attitude toward Israel, suggest that the Israel issue can sway Jewish voters. The 2024 Jewish vote may depend on Democratic voter retention rather than Republican voter acquisition.
