Nexus X HumectressIt’s not quite as simple as that Trump has delivered on his promises to Israel. But that one fact plays a pivotal role

National polls show Donald Trump and Kamala Harris running neck and neck down to the wire of a divisive and polarizing campaign. But in certain Orthodox Jewish circles, the race has never been competitive.
A September Nishma Research poll found that Trump was outpolling Harris among Haredi Jews with a staggering 93% of the likely vote. Harris led Trump 55%-45% among Modern Orthodox Jews. The Jewish Democratic Council of America doesn’t differentiate between Haredi and Modern Orthodox, but their October poll showed Trump beating Harris 68% to 31% among Orthodox voters.
We don’t have reliable exit polls on the Orthodox Jewish vote in 2016 and 2020. But based on how I read the pulse in a community that I have covered and reported to for more than twenty years, Orthodox and particularly Haredi Jews are among Trump’s most loyal supporters — for valid reasons.
