Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign and Jewish advocacy groups condemned former President Donald Trump for his comments implying Jewish voters would be responsible if he lost the election. Speaking at an event focused on combating antisemitism, Trump said, "I wasn't treated properly by the voters who happen to be Jewish." Trump suggested that if he loses the election, Jewish voters would be partly responsible, as a majority of them support his opponent. The backlash from Jewish organizations was swift, warning that such remarks could fuel antisemitism. Harris' national security spokesperson called Trump's rhetoric dangerous.
