Washington, Feb 27 (NationPress) U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, during his visit to the pivotal state of Wisconsin, launched a vigorous critique against Congressional Democrats. He asserted that the elections in November would be crucial in determining whether the United States prioritizes "American citizens" over what he termed as open borders, fraud, and the increasing cost of living.
At Pointe Precision Inc., a manufacturing hub located in Plover, Wisconsin, Vance continuously referenced President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, condemning the Democrats for their lack of support during significant moments of the speech.
“The State of the Union should serve as a reminder that we cannot return power to the Congressional Democrats,” Vance declared to an audience of several hundred workers and supporters.
He highlighted a poignant moment featuring a six-year-old girl who overcame an assault by an undocumented immigrant, questioning why Democrats failed to show support.
“What kind of individual cannot stand and applaud for an innocent young girl demonstrating strength and resilience?” he inquired.
Vance framed the upcoming election as a critical choice, stating: “The question in November isn’t just about wanting lower taxes, which we absolutely do. It isn’t solely about securing the border, which we also want. It is a more fundamental question: Do we wish to empower those who opened our borders, increased our taxes, and couldn’t even cheer for a six-year-old girl harmed by their policies?”
The Vice President aimed to showcase the economic progress made during the Trump administration, stating that inflation has decreased to "2.4%, the lowest in five years," and noted an average increase of "$1,700 in take-home pay" for Americans within the last year.
On the subject of housing costs, he mentioned: “Housing prices are declining. Apartment rents are lowering. For four consecutive months, we have made it clear that we aim to make housing affordable, and we are witnessing positive outcomes.” He remarked that "the annual cost of a new mortgage has decreased by $5,000 in just one year."
When asked about affordability—a primary concern for voters—Vance expressed, “We want individuals to afford a good life. It breaks my heart to think that someone works tirelessly only to return home wishing to provide their children with a nice meal on occasion or to take them on a memorable vacation. We want to enable people to achieve that, provided they work hard and adhere to the rules.”
He acknowledged that “some policies we’ve implemented may require time to yield results.”
Vance also defended the administration’s efforts to curb fraud and illegal immigration, stating, “It is the government's duty to secure our borders and eliminate fraud, and that is precisely what we are accomplishing.”
Regarding technology and energy, he emphasized the significance of data centers for the nation's future, likening them to “the gasoline of the technology revolution we are poised to experience over the next 75 years. I don’t know about you all, but I want America to lead in this technological advancement, not China or any other nation.”
Simultaneously, he insisted that facilities should ensure “electricity costs are lowered for American citizens, rather than increasing,” emphasizing the need for them to be “good neighbors.”
Wisconsin continues to be one of the most fiercely contested states in U.S. politics and is viewed as essential for the outcomes of national elections. The state has alternated between Republican and Democratic leadership in recent presidential cycles.
