REUTERS/Piroschka van de WouwWASHINGTON: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday that Jewish-American voters would be partly to blame if he loses the Nov 5 election to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate.
"If I don't win this election - and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens because if 40 per cent, I mean, 60 per cent of the people are voting for the enemy - Israel, in my opinion, will cease to exist within two years," Trump told the crowd.Trump was citing a poll that he said showed Harris polling at 60 per cent among American Jews.
The Trump campaign has made winning over Jewish voters in key battleground states a priority. United States Jews have leaned heavily towards Democrats in federal elections for decades and continue to do so, but just a small shift in the Jewish vote could determine the winner in November.
