JD Vance promotes Trump's economic policies in Michigan

JD Vance, the former Ohio senator, visited Michigan on March 14 to promote President Trump's economic policies at Vantage Plastics. He emphasized the need for tariffs to protect American manufacturing amid ongoing economic concerns. Protests occurred outside the event, with demonstrators criticizing Trump's tariffs and policies. Vance responded to the protesters, suggesting they should focus on their jobs instead of protesting. Vance also criticized Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former President Joe Biden, claiming that Trump's leadership would better support economic development. This visit marked Vance's first return to Michigan since the 2024 election campaign.
