In the November 2018 midterm elections, 79% of self-described Jewish voters voted for the Democratic candidate in their congressional district compared to 71% of Jewish voters who cast ballots for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and 69% who voted for Obama in 2012 https://t.co/M3HOOkKZNf https://t.co/KEtwTNSSUw
