Vice President JD Vance delivered remarks at the Cleveland-Cliffs steel plant in Middletown, Ohio, where his grandfather worked for nearly four decades. During his speech—part political rally, part economic announcement—he highlighted Cleveland-Cliffs’ $1 billion investment in manufacturing, which he claimed would protect and create numerous jobs, enhance technology, and improve air quality in the area. Vance attributed this investment to President Trump’s energy-dominance agenda and encouraged attendees to feel proud of reversing decades of decline by voting for Trump.
Several GOP candidates from Ohio, including Senators John Husted and Bernie Moreno, gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Rep. Warren Davidson, Congressional candidate Eric Conroy, and Governor Mike DeWine, also spoke at the event.
