New York’s Jewish voters swung dramatically away from the Democrats because of far-left “anti-Israel fanaticism”, re-elected representative Ritchie Torres has claimed.
Roughly 45 per cent of the state's Jewish population voted for Trump compared to 30 per cent in 2020. Kamala Harris took 55 per cent – down from the 69 per cent won by President Joe Biden.
"The Anti-Israel fanaticism of the far left is entirely to blame for the erosion of Jewish support,” wrote Torres on X.
The pro-Israel representative, who is not Jewish, won more than 77 per cent of the vote in New York's 15th congressional district, which covers the south Bronx.
