Vance wins over Republican Jews hesitant to support him

Vice President JD Vance delivered a speech behind closed doors at the annual Republican Jewish Coalition leadership summit on Monday in an attempt to win over pro-Israel Republicans who are hesitant to support him for a possible 2028 presidential campaign.

Vance addressed rising antisemitism to a room full of Republican Jews while deflecting criticism from his affiliation with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has been described as antisemitic for inviting Holocaust deniers on his show. This was most apparent in Carlson’s wide-ranging interview with Nick Fuentes last year.
