Vance reveals why he didn’t join Trump on UK visit, launches big attack on ‘illegal aliens’

Vice President JD Vance, speaking in Howell, Michigan, delivered a strongly pro-working-class speech honoring President Trump’s “working families tax cuts” and the revival of American manufacturing. Vance hailed labor policies like no taxes on overtime, tips, and Social Security, with an average $10,000 take-home pay increase, and praised local leaders for fighting global outsourcing. He highlighted the generational impact of these policies and praised former Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk for empowering young conservatives on campus, calling on Americans to reject political violence and uphold free debate. Vance also underlined Trump administration achievements: expanding apprenticeships, bringing factories and jobs back to the US, boosting child tax credits, and deploying the National Guard to restore law and order in cities. He closed by urging voters to keep supporting policies that reward American labor, support safe communities, and keep the American dream alive at home rather than overseas.
