Vice President JD Vance addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition leadership summit in Las Vegas on Monday to address growing skepticism regarding the U.S.-Israel relationship. During a moderated conversation, JD Vance noted that Republicans must articulate why the alliance is in the best interest of the United States, particularly for younger Americans who may view the relationship differently than previous generations. JD Vance also addressed concerns regarding his relationship with media personalities like Tucker Carlson, who has been a point of contention for some Jewish Republicans. While JD Vance did not fully disavow Carlson, he defended his engagement with various media platforms to reach a broader audience.
