WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, will host Jewish leaders for a discussion about a rise in antisemitism and efforts to fight hate in the United States. The roundtable Wednesday follows a surge in anti-Jewish vitriol spread by a world-famous rapper, an NBA star and other prominent people. Emhoff is the first Jewish person among the top four — the president, vice president and their spouses. He has become increasingly outspoken about growing anti-Jewish sentiment and hate in the U.S. The White House did not say which Jewish leaders will participate.
