Earlier this week, Vice President and 2028 Republican frontrunner JD Vance spoke at the annual gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), hoping to assuage the concerns of a growing number of Jewish conservatives on the question of Israel and rising “antisemitism.” In the closed-door and off-the-record speech, which was subsequently leaked, Vance re-affirmed his commitment to the “US-Israel Alliance.” “We love you guys … you will very much always be on the [Republican] team so long as I have any say in it,” Vance said, speaking on behalf of himself and the entire Trump administration, reassuring Jewish Americans and the RJC specifically.
