While speaking to the people gathered at Don's Machine Shop in Pennsylvania, J.D. Vance emphasized how zero Democrats supported the "One, Big Beautiful Bill Act," which he claims will get manufacturing jobs back to America.
"Democrats seem to like everything that increases taxes," the former senator said. "If you've got a health care problem, they'll say, 'We'll just raise taxes, right?' Health care costs in this country, we're working on it, they're way too expensive. Democrats say, 'We'll just raise taxes.' We've got not enough people working. Democrats will say just raise taxes. That's their solution to every single problem. But you know, the one group of people in the entire world that they don't seem interested in penalizing is foreign countries that take advantage of this country and that's got to stop."
Vance then made a bold promise. "Part of the Big, Beautiful agenda is saying that if you're going to build something in the United States of America, we're going to reward you and we're going to fight for you. But if you want to build something overseas, you're going to pay a big fat tariff before you bring it back into the United States of America and that's exactly how it should be," he said.

J.D. Vance also blamed past Democratic leadership for jobs being moved out of the United States.
"This facility employs people who are participating in the proud tradition of manufacturing, of making great, big and beautiful things with American workers and with American hands," he told them.
The Republican referred to his entrepreneurial father, Don Bowman, whose businesses struggled because "what the Chinese and other Asian, primarily, [and] Mexican manufacturing economies were doing is they were stealing American jobs."
"They were making it easier to undercut the wages of American workers and the United States lost a lot of great big beautiful factories during that period, thanks in large part because of bad decisions made by American leadership," Vance added.

J.D. Vance went on to gush over President Donald Trump and claimed they are both advocating for American manufacturers in Washington, D.C., unlike their left-wing counterparts.
"For decades in this country, the story was that blue collar workers in particular, they might get a little pay raise or they might not get any pay raise at all, but it was never enough to keep pace with inflation," he alleged. "No matter how hard you worked, no matter how hard you came to work every single day, no matter how hard, how many overtime hours, for example, you put in, you were falling behind. Way too many good Pennsylvania families were falling behind."
"And under just six months of the president's leadership, we've got — inflation is coming under control and blue-collar wages are rising faster than they have risen in 60 years. That is a testament to great presidential leadership and the great American people," Vance stated.
