Vance rallies in Howell for Rogers, James and Barrett
Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Howell, Michigan, on Tuesday for Mike Rogers, John James and Rep. Tom Barrett, a week before the Nov. 3 election, Michigan Advance reported.
Vice President JD Vance campaigned Tuesday in Howell, Michigan, at CHI Aviation, backing Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers, gubernatorial nominee John James and U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett a week before the Nov. 3 election1.
Michigan Advance reported that President Donald Trump and Vance have made repeated stops in the state, after a Saturday Detroit rally featuring former President Barack Obama and Democratic nominees including Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson1.
Vance said the GOP ticket offered voters a chance to support three Michigan candidates, telling the crowd, "In one week, we have an opportunity to vote for three Michigan patriots who are fighting for you"1.
The newspaper said Vance devoted much of the speech to El-Sayed, claiming the Democrat wanted to defund police, citing his association with podcaster Hasan Piker, and linking El-Sayed to immigration policies Vance said had produced unrest in France1.
Michigan Advance said it pointed readers to an Associated Press review that found no evidence immigration policies caused unrest in France, and to a Michigan Public review that said Rogers' claims about El-Sayed's mother and the Muslim Brotherhood did not match the evidence1.
Rogers, speaking before Vance, said some Democrats would vote against El-Sayed and argued a Senate candidate should condemn terrorism, the newspaper reported1.
James said Michigan's Senate, governor and congressional races would be watched closely and urged Republicans not to sit out the election1.
Vance also argued that the administration had focused on inflation, prices and tax cuts; Michigan Advance said gasoline prices in the state had risen and cited inflation at 3.7 percent1.
After the remarks, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel said in a statement that Vance had defended policies Hertel argued had raised costs, and that Rogers, James and Barrett had backed that agenda1.
Barrett, who Michigan Advance said faces Democrat Will Lawrence in the 7th District, also spoke, along with attorney general nominee Doug Lloyd and secretary of state nominee Anthony Forlini1.
