Somebody thought sending Vice President JD Vance back to Ohio was a good idea, but listening to Vance talk in Lima, his speech was a combination of detachment from reality, lies, and, at one point, I had to make sure we were still in the year 2026 because Vance name-dropped Nancy Pelosi as part of the “radical far left.”

First, Vance tried to convince Ohio voters that everything is going great:
South of here is Middletown, but north is Toledo and Stellantis is investing four hundred million dollars into a new manufacturing plant to produce Jeeps right here in Ohio. 90 minutes south of us, Electra, a great company, is investing $850 million in aerospace manufacturing just outside of Springfield, Ohio
And Bayer, one of America's biggest pharmaceutical companies, is putting $2.2 billion into a new pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in central Ohio, and Bernie Moreno deserves a lot of credit for that, and so does John Husted Now there's so much more we could talk about, but that's just three examples of thousands of permanent jobs for Ohio workers, all thanks to an administration backed up by great leadership that is fighting to put America first.
According to JD, things are great as long as you don’t look at the cost of food, gas, and utilities, and never think about how inflation is eating away at your paycheck.
Vance threatened that if Democrats won, all of Ohio’s economic success would go away, “If we take the smart leadership this state has had and replace it with a person who wants to mask your kids and have girls play with boys in sports, then you're never gonna get the great economic boom that is coming to this state.”
JD Vance then tried to talk about inflation.
