  "account": "Vice President JD Vance met with a rabbi and a security guard from Temple Israel, a synagogue in a Michigan suburb, following an attack on the community. The meeting took place at Vance's request and was aimed at offering support and discussing additional security funding through the Jewish American Security Act. This visit came as Vance has been increasing his outreach to Jewish voters ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run. The meeting occurred after El-Sayed, the Democratic US Senate candidate in Michigan, faced criticism for his remarks about the attack, which he later apologized for. Vance also appeared at a rally in Sterling Heights, where he called the attack an \"antisemitic terrorist attack\" and criticized El-Sayed, describing him as \"very, very evil.\"",
  "summary": "Meanwhile, several of the state’s Jewish leaders signed a petition pledging to vote for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s GOP opponent.",
