The Myth of Permanent Friends: Why the Jewish Community Must Re-Engineer Its Washington Playbook NEW YORK (VINnews/Ezra Friedlander) – The dust is finally settling on last night’s election results, and as the political map redraws itself, the American Jewish community finds itself at a critical crossroads.

🇺🇸 - Trump Admits Iran War Cost Republicans The Midterms, Says He Would Do It Again President Trump said the war in Iran was largely responsible for Republicans losing control of both the House and Senate. He pointed to higher gas prices as the main issue, telling reporters it drove costs up in the short term and hurt the party at the polls. At the same time, Trump said he has no regrets. “If I had it to do again, I’d have to do it again,” he said. “You can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” Democrats flipped seats in multiple red states, including Texas, and now hold majorities in both chambers of Congress.

🇮🇱 - President Herzog Certifies Israel Election Results, Blocking Netanyahu Challenges Israeli President Isaac Herzog formally accepted last week’s election results as legally binding on Wednesday, starting the process of consultations to form a new government. The move is a major setback for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His religious-nationalist bloc lost its Knesset majority, falling to 53 seats after Arab-led parties (the Joint List and Ra’am) surged to a historic 19 seats combined. Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition bloc holds 48. Israel’s election commission found no evidence of irregularities that compromised the vote or changed the outcome. Netanyahu and his allies had been challenging the results with unsubstantiated claims involving Arab parties. Herzog is now meeting with party leaders to decide who gets the first chance to form a coalition. Neither side currently has a path to the 61 seats needed without significant compromise.

🇺🇸 - Nikki Haley Tells Republicans To Stop Whining After Midterm Losses Nikki Haley went on the Today show this morning with a blunt message for her party after Tuesday’s midterm results. She told fellow Republicans this is not the time to whine, complain, or point fingers. “The bottom line is Republicans didn’t listen to the American people,” she said. “They listened to Washington, D.C. And while the American people were saying groceries are high, gas is high, healthcare is high, you’re not listening.” Haley pointed to “self-dealing and corruption and celebrating” in D.C. as part of the problem. Her advice was simple: get a good night’s sleep, take the medicine, and get back to work focusing on what voters actually care about. She also had a warning for Democrats, telling them they can celebrate but need to be careful after electing a large number of Democratic Socialist candidates. Both parties, she said, should do some self-reflecting. A lot can change in two years.

🇺🇸 - Stocks Surge After Democrats Take Congress And Trump Accepts Results Wall Street ripped higher Wednesday after Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The Dow jumped more than 1,500 points (nearly 3%) while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also posted strong gains. Markets had been nervous about a messy fight over the results, but President Trump accepted the outcome overnight and said he would work with Democrats. Investors clearly liked the clarity. Divided government often means less dramatic policy swings, and that relief showed up immediately across the major indexes. Oil prices dropped sharply on the day as traders priced in the possibility of a calmer approach to the Iran conflict.

He also raised doubts about whether he could support Vance in a future presidential run.

🇺🇸 - Florida Governor-Elect Byron Donalds Says Democrats Will Overreach On Impeachments And Subpoenas Florida Governor-Elect Byron Donalds Says Democrats Will Overreach On Impeachments And Subpoenas Florida’s new governor-elect is already warning that Democrats are about to go too far. Speaking on Hannity the day after his win, Byron Donalds said that everywhere he traveled across the state, voters made one thing clear. They are not interested in impeachments, subpoenas, or political investigations. They want gas prices down and grocery prices down. “That’s what the American people are looking for,” Donalds said. The comments come after Donalds narrowly defeated David Jolly to become Florida’s first Black governor, keeping the state red while Democrats made big gains elsewhere in the country.

🇺🇸 - DeSantis Says GOP Must Go Ideas-Based And Results-Focused After Trump Gov. Ron DeSantis says Republicans do not have a Donald Trump-like figure heading into 2028, so the party needs to win on ideas and results instead of personality. Speaking on CNN, DeSantis called Trump a unique figure with a brand and persona that drew support across the political spectrum. He said no one else in the GOP can take up that same space. “Going forward, it’s gotta be ideas-based,” DeSantis said. “What are we trying to accomplish? That’s what we’ve done in Florida… we delivered results.” He pointed to Florida’s track record of setting clear goals and aggressively delivering on them as the model for a post-Trump GOP. DeSantis argued that with no one able to dominate the room the way Trump does, the focus has to shift to what the party stands for and the results it produces.

🇺🇸 - Ben Shapiro Says Unaffordability Chaos And Corruption Crushed Republicans Ben Shapiro posted last night that Republicans got crushed in the midterms because of three things working together: unaffordability, chaos, and corruption. Democrats swept key races nationwide, flipping Senate seats in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Iowa, and others that had been solidly Republican for decades. They also took the House, giving them control of both chambers. Shapiro’s take, from his video breakdown, is that voters’ top concern was the cost of living by a wide margin. Layered on top of that was a sense of ongoing chaos and questions around corruption, which together created a wipeout. He pointed to issues including the handling of the Iran war, tariffs, and other distractions as factors that fed into all three.

🇺🇸 - New Michigan Senator-Elect Questions Continued Weapons Sales To Israel Abdul El-Sayed, the newly elected Democratic senator from Michigan, said on Morning Joe that he does not believe the United States should keep selling weapons to Israel. He stated he does not know why America should continue arming a country “using our weapons to do awful things.” El-Sayed also praised a reported plan by President Trump to cut $4 billion in aid to Israel, saying he would “love to work with him” on that. The comments continue a long pattern. During the campaign, El-Sayed opposed both offensive and defensive weapons for Israel, including Iron Dome, and repeatedly described Israeli policy as genocide and apartheid. VIN’s Take: Israel is fighting for its survival against groups that openly call for its destruction. Cutting weapons and aid while those threats remain is not neutrality. It is a choice.

🇬🇧 - Bank Of England Raises Interest Rates To 4% For First Time In Three Years The Bank of England raised its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4% on Thursday. It is the first increase since August 2023. Eight of the nine Monetary Policy Committee members backed the move. One voted for a larger half-point hike. Governor Andrew Bailey said the rise is not the start of a long series of increases, but it may not be the last if the Middle East conflict continues. Rising energy prices from the ongoing conflict are driving the pressure. The Bank now expects UK inflation to peak at 4.9% in the middle of next year, up from earlier forecasts. Higher rates will mean increased costs for many mortgage borrowers as energy bills are also set to rise further.

🇮🇱 🇦🇺 - Sky News Anchor Targeted By Iranian Intelligence In Two-Month Operation Sky News host Sharri Markson has revealed that Australian intelligence confirmed she was targeted by an Iranian cyber operation linked to the IRGC. The two-month sting began in August when operatives infiltrated the X account of a former Trump administration official she had previously worked with. Using that access, they contacted her, introduced a fake contact named “Cathleen Batz,” and eventually breached her personal Google Drive and emails. ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess informed her it was Iran’s “Charming Kitten” unit. Officials said she was targeted because of her support for Israel, criticism of Iran, and reporting on antisemitism and the Bondi Beach terror attack.

🇺🇸 - Stocks Plunge As Midterm Results Spark AI Data Center Fears Wall Street erased Wednesday’s post-election rally in one session Thursday as investors dumped tech and AI-related stocks. The Nasdaq fell about 5.5%, its worst day since April 2025, and entered correction territory. The S&P 500 dropped roughly 4.4% and the Dow shed more than 1,800 points. The selloff centered on fears that Democratic gains, including control of Congress and key state races, could slow the massive data-center buildout powering the AI boom. Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa campaigned on a temporary moratorium and reduced tax incentives for new data centers in a state that has been a major hub for the industry. Chipmakers and related companies were hit hardest. Nvidia dropped sharply, the semiconductor index fell about 10%, and names like CoreWeave and Nebius saw double-digit declines. Tesla and SpaceX also sold off. Wednesday’s rally reflected relief that the election uncertainty was over. Thursday’s drop reflected concern about what the results could mean for the pace of AI infrastructure spending going forward.

🇺🇸 - Sid Rosenberg Slams JD Vance For Blaming Iran War For Republican Losses New York radio host Sid Rosenberg is not holding back on Vice President JD Vance. Sid slammed Vance for publicly blaming the Republican midterm losses on the Iran war and for listing the U.S. relationship with Israel as one of the factors.

🇺🇸 - Trump Blames Democrats After Markets Plunge Following Midterm Results President Trump said the stock market just suffered one of its worst days in history because of the midterm election results. He wrote that it took a lot of work to reach levels no one had seen before, then this happened. “Your 401(k)s have, therefore, dropped. Remember, it wasn’t Republicans, it was Dumocrats,” Trump said. “Do not fear, however, we will soon, one way or the other, be BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.” Markets had surged Wednesday after Democrats took control of both the House and Senate. On Thursday the Dow dropped more than 1,800 points, the S&P 500 fell about 4.4 percent, and the Nasdaq sank 5.5 percent, putting the tech-heavy index into correction territory. The sell-off hit AI and data-center stocks especially hard as investors reacted to the prospect of tighter scrutiny from a Democratic Congress. Many people in the community are now checking their retirement accounts after the sharp one-day drop.

🇺🇸 - Kai-Fu Lee Says Most CEOs Are Using AI Completely Wrong “AI Native” author Kai-Fu Lee says AI is now so advanced that asking it to handle customer service or document checking is a waste. He told CNBC that 99% of CEOs he meets are focused on the wrong things with AI. They’re deploying it in customer service, legal, and finance just to cut headcount and save money. Lee argues that’s missing the point. AI is now at an “IQ 300” level, so treating it like a cheaper employee doesn’t make sense. Instead, he says companies should use AI as a high-IQ adviser for strategy and bigger decisions, not routine tasks. The comments come as Lee promotes his new book, AI Native, focused on how executives should actually approach AI.

🇺🇸 - Planned Bike Ride Targeting Jewish-Owned Restaurants Draws Strong Pushback In Philadelphia A planned “Boycott Ride” set for Sunday in Rittenhouse Square is drawing sharp reactions from city and state leaders. The ride, organized by Philly Bike On Your Left and partner groups, is set to start around 11:30 a.m. near Rittenhouse Square. Flyers name six local spots: Mac Mart, K’Far Cafe, Huda, Goldie, Dizengoff, and Schlesinger’s. Organizers say the businesses are being targeted over their owners’ ties to Israel and have called for “no business for Zionists,” with some posts describing the owners as “disgusting humans.” The timing has drawn particular attention. Sunday falls on the eve of the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi attacks that destroyed Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues across Germany and Austria. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday called the plans “deeply unsettling.” He said the ride singles out people based on their Jewish identity rather than focusing solely on Israeli government policies. Mayor Cherelle Parker and Governor Josh Shapiro’s office have also condemned the targeting of the businesses, with Shapiro’s office describing it as an effort to intimidate Jewish-owned establishments. Jewish community groups, including the ADL and the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, have issued joint statements calling the plans antisemitic. Several of the named restaurants say they plan to stay open. A community food crawl supporting the businesses is also being organized for Sunday. Police say public safety will be a priority as the event approaches.
