The Ohio senator’s visit to Flint comes as over 3 million Michiganders have already cast their ballot, nearly 44% of registered voters.
FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) – Candidates are crisscrossing the important battleground state of Michigan on the final full day of campaigning before Election Day.
That includes the Republican nominee for Vice President, Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), who made his final stop in Michigan at Flint’s Capitol Theater Monday.
“I don’t wish unemployment on anybody,” Vance said. “I know it’s terribly stressful to lose a job, but the one person I think we are going to make unemployed tomorrow is Kamala Harris because we don’t want her anywhere near the Oval Office.”
The Ohio Senator’s visit to Flint comes as over 3 million Michiganders have already cast their ballot, nearly 44 percent of registered voters. Still, Vance made one final push to get the other 56 percent to the polls.
“We know that our fellow citizens can’t afford to buy groceries, can’t afford to buy housing, can’t afford to put food on the table because people like Kamala Harris failed to do their job,” he said. “Well, tomorrow, we get an opportunity to send a message to those people. We don’t want you anymore. We want Americans who care about their fellow citizens.”
Vance focused on the economy in his remarks in the Vehicle City, arguing that convincing American voters is “easy” because of the Trump Administration’s record.
“When Donald J. Trump was President, wages were rising faster than they had in 40 years in the United States of America. And when Donald J. Trump was President, the border was secure and the Mexican drug cartels were on the run. That’s a hell of a record to run on,” he said.
The Republican nominee for Vice President was joined by several notable Republicans hoping to earn a spot in Congress Tuesday, including Congressional candidates Tom Barrett and Paul Junge, and Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
“Don’t be discouraged that they are bringing Bon Jovi in to Detroit,” Rogers said. “They got Bon Jovi, but you know who we got? We got auto workers. That’s who we got. They brought in Sarah Jessica Parker to talk all fancy nonsense. Guess what we got? We got Teamsters.”
Meanwhile, in his final pitch to Michigan voters, Vance encouraged people to bring their friends and family out to vote, arguing that the future and soul of the nation is on the line.
“We’re fighting for people to be able to afford groceries,” he said. “We’re fighting for our fellow citizens because they deserve to have an American President that is fit to lead this great nation and my friends tomorrow that is exactly what we are going to give them.”
