At Jewish Republican summit, GOP casts midterms as a battle against DSA

At the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual convention in Las Vegas, speakers framed the upcoming midterm elections as a critical battle against the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) faction within the Democratic Party. Joe Gruters, RNC chairman, stated that "A Democrat majority in November is not just a political setback for our party and our movement; it is a direct threat to the Jewish community." Republican figures, including Ed Gallrein and Georgia Rep. Mike Collins, accused the Democratic Party of ceding control to the DSA, highlighting the group's anti-Zionist stance and recent primary victories. The convention also saw criticism of the RJC for hosting JD Vance in a closed-door session, with Jewish Democratic groups questioning his stance on Israel and antisemitism.
