Vice President JD Vance delivered closed-door remarks to Jewish Republicans in Las Vegas on Monday night, covering a range of topics, including the Michigan Senate race, the influence of podcasters and the U.S. relationship with Israel.
In a room of roughly 1,000 attendees, Vance disparaged Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He reaffirmed the U.S. relationship with Israel, but also warned of "growing suspicion" of Israel among Americans under the age of 40. He stopped short of disavowing former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has angered prominent Jewish Republicans by hosting Holocaust deniers on his podcast and criticizing Israel.
