Watch Webinar – Conversation with Rep. Max Miller


After a tumultuous campaign, on November 5th the American people elected Donald Trump to be the 47th President of the United States. The incoming Trump administration and 119th Congress will be taking office just as the war between Israel and the Iranian-led “Axis of Resistance” will be reaching a critical inflection point. The need for clear-eyed American leadership will be vital.

JINSA hosted a conversation with Congressman Max Miller of Ohio, who previously served as an advisor to President Trump in the White House, to provide his perspective on the president’s unique style of leadership and his approach to the Middle East. He discussed his experience as a Jewish member of Congress in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks, and thoughts on prospects for a renewed focus on encouraging Israeli-Saudi normalization and renewed “Maximum Pressure” campaign against Iran in 2025.

JINSA President and CEO Michael Makovsky, PhD moderated the discussion.
