Group of House Democrats urges Senate to oppose Trump's pick for antisemitism envoy

A group of House Democrats has called on the Senate to reject Yehuda Kaploun, President Donald Trump's nominee for the State Department's envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism. In a letter to Senate leaders, the lawmakers argue Kaploun lacks the judgment and moral authority required for the position, citing his partisan rhetoric and failure to condemn controversial remarks made by Trump. The letter also references past legal disputes involving Kaploun and questions his ability to work across party lines. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to hold a hearing on his nomination, which has drawn attention from both lawmakers and Jewish organizations urging swift action to fill the role.
