No Jewish Republicans in US Senate Reported: 08:20 AM - Jul/02/09
(IsraelNN.com) For the first time in 50 years, the Republican Party does not have a Jewish senator in the U.S. federal government.

In the mid- 90s, the Senate had eight Republican Jewish senators. In contrast, the Democratic Party had 11 Jewish senators. In addition, two Jewish senators were Independents, who usually vote together with the Democrats.
