Vance to Privately Address Republican Jewish Coalition During Tension over Israel and Antisemitism
Vance defended his support for Israel and condemned antisemitism, but he stopped short of fully distancing himself from Tucker Carlson.
Vice President JD Vance addresses the Republican Jewish Coalition's Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas on Monday during a closed-press fireside chat at the gala dinner.
Scrutiny surrounds Vance's recent claims that some Israeli officials sought to manipulate U.S. public opinion to prolong the war with Iran, compounded by his refusal to disavow conservative commentator Tucker Carlson.
While Vance is considered the likely successor to President Donald Trump, prominent GOP donors have signaled a preference for Senator Marco Rubio for the 2028 presidential nomination.
Influential Jewish conservatives are using the summit to push back against far-right elements, underscoring internal GOP schisms regarding antisemitism within the party.
Ahead of the midterm elections, Republicans navigate a generational divide where younger members express increased skepticism toward U.S. support for Israel.
