J.D. Vance

Vance said it’s OK that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers is distancing himself from the Trump administration and its policies.

In various ways, speakers framed the election as a choice between “common sense” and “crazy.”

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed campaigned across Michigan's Upper Peninsula with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, touting healthcare and affordability as priorities.

Meanwhile, the President of the United States is presenting himself either as Jesus or his best friend, the Vice President is questioning the Pope's theology credentials, and the Secretary of Defense is quoting made-up scripture from the movie Pulp Fiction.

And thus did JD Vance find himself in Michigan this week giving a speech in a manufacturing facility. It was awkward to say the least. Of course Vance is famously not just a flip-flopper, but a shape-shifter.

At a robotics factory in Auburn Hills, the vice president credited President Donald Trump with bringing blue collar jobs back to Michigan — although Democrats said Vance was cherry-picking data.

Vice President JD Vance promised lower prices and bigger paychecks for American workers during his address at an industrial facility in Toledo Thursday morning.

The event was originally promised to be about tax cuts and economic policy, but Vance and other speakers strayed into other topics.

"Making things. Building things. Working with our hands is America’s heritage and that heritage is alive and well in this facility," Vance told the crowd gathered at a Bay County plastics company.

Former President Donald Trump and his Republican Vice-Presidential running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz spent the day cajoling and encouraging their supporters ahead of the conclusion of the presidential race
