JD Vance takes the stage in swing state Michigan
Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance is now onstage in Michigan.
The Ohio senator arrived with his wife, Usha Vance, and is speaking on a stage that appears to be set up in front of a row of tractor trucks.
“You now I love Byron Center. I’ve been here just about a couple hours, but Byron Center has been cast aside, and a lot of places in this country have been cast aside by America’s ruling class in Washington DC,” Vance began.
“Now, politicians come into places like Michigan. They say nice things, but they crush our industries. They offshore our jobs, and they undercut American wages with illegal labor. You, my friends, have been betrayed, and the people who have been doing the betraying have gotten rich off of this country’s decline, and it’s time to call them out, and it’s time to kick them out of office.”
We’re now waiting for JD Vance to take the stage at his campaign event in Byron Center, Michigan, one of three in Great Lakes states that could prove pivotal to either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris’s hopes of becoming the next president.
Byron Center is in western Michigan, one of the swingiest parts of the state. It’s a traditionally Republican region, and the county the town is located in voted for the former president in 2016, then backed Joe Biden narrowly in 2020.
We’ll let you know more about Vance’s messages to voters there.
