Vance campaigns at the Ohio steel plant where his grandfather worked
- Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Middletown, Ohio, at the Cleveland-Cliffs steel plant where his grandfather once worked.
- Vance used the appearance to promote Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections.
- He linked the event to his Rust Belt background and to the Trump administration's push to expand U.S. manufacturing.
- Vance said Trump was trying to reverse decades of American decline and pointed to immigration and trade policies, including tariffs, as ways to protect jobs at the plant.
- The article said Vance is expected to increase his schedule of public events and fundraisers.
Vice President JD Vance returned to his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, on Friday to campaign for Republican candidates at the Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works steel plant. The facility was known as Armco Steel when his grandfather, James Vance, worked there for nearly 40 years.
Vance used the stop to emphasize his Rust Belt roots and to promote the Trump administration's economic agenda, including efforts to expand U.S. manufacturing. He said Trump was trying to reverse decades of American decline and argued that immigration and trade policies, including tariffs, were meant to protect jobs like those at the plant.
The event also reflected Vance's effort to sharpen his criticism of Democrats in industrial Ohio ahead of competitive elections. For markets, the message is broadly neutral, though the emphasis on tariffs and steel manufacturing could be mildly supportive for industrial and steel-related stocks; the article reports no direct market reaction.
万斯在其祖父曾任职的俄亥俄州钢厂为共和党候选人拉票
美国副总统JD·万斯周五回到俄亥俄州家乡米德尔敦，在克利夫兰-克里夫斯的Middletown Works钢厂为共和党候选人拉票。该厂在他祖父詹姆斯·万斯工作近40年时，曾名为Armco Steel。
万斯利用这次行程强调自己来自铁锈带的背景，并宣传特朗普政府的经济议程，包括扩大美国制造业。他表示，特朗普正在努力扭转数十年的美国衰退，并称移民和贸易政策，包括关税，旨在保护像这家钢厂这样的岗位。
这次活动也反映出，万斯正试图在俄亥俄州的工业选区加大对民主党的批评，为竞争激烈的选举做准备。对市场而言，这一表态总体中性，但对关税和钢铁制造的强调，可能对工业和钢铁相关股票略有支撑；报道并未提到直接的市场反应。
