Jewish Voters Helped Deliver BIG Dem Wins
Last night was an inflection point in American history, ushering in a monumental political shift that will change the trajectory of our country, and we’re grateful to all of you for being a part of it.
Overwhelming Democratic victories in Senate, House, and gubernatorial elections were made possible by exceptional voter turnout and strong support for Democrats in blue, purple, and deeply red areas of the country, including Texas, South Carolina, and Kansas. The electoral map has been forever changed.
JDCA endorsed 178 Democrats who share our values in this election, and nearly all of them won. While not all votes are yet counted, we estimate that 95 percent of JDCA endorsees won their election, including 100 percent of our endorsed incumbents. This is an unprecedented win.
Jewish Americans were an essential part of a winning Democratic coalition, with an estimated 72 percent of Jewish voters nationally supporting Democrats according to polling. This number is entirely consistent with the number we projected, and helped to deliver key victories for Democrats in critical races throughout the country.
Despite widespread speculation about a possible political shift of Jewish voters in these midterms, more than seven out of ten Jewish voters continued to support Democrats, because Trump’s agenda is antithetical to our values.
Donald Trump’s agenda is clearly antithetical to the values and interests of nearly all Americans, because we’ve never seen such an overwhelming electoral repudiation of a sitting president. Trump said to pretend he was on the ballot, and the American people – including Jewish Americans – did just that. We overwhelmingly rejected his cruelty, chaos, and corruption. The era of Donald Trump’s unchecked political power has officially come to an end.
Join us TODAY at 3 p.m. ET for a JDCA Midterm Debrief livestream on the Jewish Dem Download (JDCA’s Substack). We will break down what this political watershed moment means for the Jewish community and the future of our country.
We are incredibly proud of the role that JDCA and Jewish voters played in delivering key victories, and grateful to all of you for being a part of it.
Our JDCA community did more than ever before in a midterm election:
- We made more than 1.2 million calls, texts, and door knocks across 23 states.
- Over 15,000 people joined JDCA’s events, including 1,200+ volunteer shifts.
- JDCA PAC advertised in 16 states, with ads seen nearly 10 million times.
- We endorsed 178 candidates – 95 percent of them won their elections.
Together, we played a key role in changing our country’s trajectory and reshaping the future of American politics. At the same time, our work is far from over. JDCA plans to play a key role in ensuring Democratic majorities deliver for the American people, consistent with our Jewish values, in the 120th Congress and beyond, and we look forward to continuing to work with you.
