GOP vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance held two big rallies Monday in Middletown, Ohio and Radford, Virginia.
Highlights from Senator Vance's speeches:
Senator Vance: "When I think about the American Dream, I don't think about writing a book, becoming a business guy, -- I don't even think about running for Vice President...I think about becoming a husband and a father. That's the way in which this community and this country was best to me."
Senator Vance: "My message to Democrats who are disgusted by this process -- disgusted by how anti-democratic it is: you are welcome in the Republican Party, where we think we should persuade voters and not lie to voters."
Senator Vance: "History will remember Joe Biden as not just a quitter — which he is — but one of the worst presidents in [history]...But my friends, Kamala Harris is a million times worse...She signed up for every single one of Joe Biden's failures, and she lied about his mental capacity to serve as president."
Senator Vance: “On her very first day in office, she and Biden suspended deportations, they stopped construction of the border wall and they reimplemented catch and release. The border crisis is a Kamala Harris crisis.”
Senator Vance: "Kamala Harris is actually even more extreme than Biden...She wants to totally decriminalize illegal immigration."
Senator Vance: “She said a couple of days ago that I…have no loyalty to the United States…I don’t know Kamala, I served in the United States Marine Corps and built a business. What the hell have you done other than collect a government check for the past 20 years?”
Senator Vance: "I happen to believe...that we should make more of our own stuff in this country...Do you know where 95% of the Ibuprofen...is manufactured? China. Do you know where the gross majority of the antibiotics that we put into the bodies of our children come from? China."
Senator Vance: "My message to America's seniors is simple: I will fight for you because if it wasn't for a grandma like that, I wouldn't be standing here today getting to run as your next Vice President of the United States."
