The Jewish faith has 3 branches, so to speak:

Orthodox, Conservative, Reform. The vast majority of Jews is the U.S. are Conservative.

Sorry G26ster but your info is, unfortunately, not quite accurate. The Reform Movement is the largest segment of US Jews and overwhelmingly liberal in their religious practice and their politics (around 40% of all US Jews). Conservative and Orthodox make up about an equal 40% of the total population, Conservative being about 3/4 of that (3:1 Conservative to Orthodox). Conservative and Orthodox share more traditional values and as you follow the spectrum toward Orthodoxy, the politics becomes more traditionally conservative and Republican as well. Since Trumps election there has been a overall movement of more Jews toward the Republican party, but an overwhelming majority still vote Democratic, a throwback to Roosevelt and WWII. Many Jews remain woefully ignorant of the fact that Roosevelt refused to bomb the train tracks to Auschwitz.
