During the event in the critical battleground state, Vance promoted former President Donald Trump’s platform, urging voters int the state to get out and vote as to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in November. “I’m a firm believer that we ought to have Election Day instead of election season. But it is what it is, my friends. We’ve got election season,” Vance said in his remarks at the rally. “It is here, at least for now, and so we’ve got to play by the rules, and we got to play to win.”

Vance drew attention to the grassroots efforts Republican have been organizing in the state, promoting the GOP. “I’m thrilled with what I see from grassroots Republicans across the state and the work that they’re doing,” he added. “Putting together this event, volunteers knocking on doors, making phone calls, putting up signs, what can you do now? Vote.”
The Trump and Vance have campaigned hard in Michigan, particularly focusing on the heavy presence of the auto industry in the mid-western state, claiming the economic consequences of a Harris presidency would obliterate the industry impacting many blue-collar workers.
“Michigan prides itself on being the auto capital of the world, and it’s the backbone of Michigan’s economy,” according to a statement from the Trump-Vance campaign ahead of the event. “President Donald J. Trump has shown time and time again that he is dedicated to supporting and rebuilding the auto-industry, starting with encouraging American manufacturing jobs.”
