US midterm elections reshape American Jewish political alignment and US-Israel relations
Following the 2026 US midterm elections, in which Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, outlets examined the Jewish vote and the future of US military aid to Israel. President Trump announced on Election Day that the US would phase out roughly $4 billion in annual military assistance to Israel by the end of 2026. A Jewish Electorate Institute poll found 69% of Jewish voters backed Democrats, a six-point drop from 2024.

The split, in one line
One camp reads the results as Israel losing its grip on Washington; another as a warning sign for both parties on antisemitism; a third as Jews drifting toward the GOP. The aid phase-out is the shared anchor.
