Randy Fine Accuses JD Vance of Blaming Jews for 2026 Midterm Losses

Randy Fine said he will not back JD Vance in a 2028 presidential primary, calling the vice president’s post-midterm analysis “abhorrent” and likening it to “1932 Germany.”
Vance had argued Republicans lost because voters wanted the Iran war ended, relief on living costs, an America First focus and a changed U.S.-Israel relationship, adding that “the reason we lost is the war.”
Fine said three of those four points effectively blamed “the Jews,” arguing that criticism of Israel is inseparable from criticism of Jewish identity and rejecting Vance’s reading of the election.
Donald Trump said he was fine with Vance’s critique of the Iran conflict’s political cost, though he wanted Vance to add that the administration would still fight the war again to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
The clash highlights a wider GOP fight after losing both the House and Senate over whether the party’s midterm setback stemmed from the Iran war, broader domestic concerns or its alliance with Israel.
