During his final event in Michigan before Election Day, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance made bold statements regarding the future of the state's auto industry. Vance asserted that a second Trump administration would protect the Michigan auto industry, contrasting it with Vice President Harris' alleged plans to destroy it through electric vehicle mandates.
Vance specifically criticized Harris for her stance on electric vehicles, claiming that her proposed mandates would result in the loss of 117,000 Michigan auto worker jobs. He accused Harris of favoring electric vehicles manufactured in China over supporting Michigan auto workers and their families.
