Vice President JD Vance defended his friendship with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson over his anti-Israel comments, even as calls grow for Vance to distance himself to prepare for a potential 2028 White House run.

“Everybody knows that Tucker Carlson and I are friends, and I think it’s very obvious that Tucker has said some things that I disagree with,” Vance said during a White House press briefing on Thursday. “He said some things about the president of the United States that I think are just wrong.”
