JD Vance to speak at Republican Jewish Coalition summit in Las Vegas

Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to speak at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas this week, appearing alongside a slate of Republican officials at The Venetian from Sunday through Tuesday. The coalition states its mission is to “foster and heighten ties between the American Jewish community and Republican decision‑makers,” according to its website. Vance will deliver remarks during a gala meal on Monday evening that is closed to the press. The Jerusalem Post reported that his appearance will take the form of a “fireside chat.” The summit’s draft agenda shows morning and afternoon sessions, dinners, a cocktail reception and a concluding meal that ends at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Other featured speakers include Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, U.S. Senators Dave McCormick, Jim Banks and Tim Sheehy. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee are slated to provide prerecorded video remarks. A video tribute from President Donald Trump will be shown on Monday in honor of Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away in July.
