Vice President JD Vance to visit Michigan this week
Published in News & Features
Vice President JD Vance will visit Michigan on Wednesday to deliver a speech at a manufacturing facility in Howell, according to the White House.
The Trump administration's announcement didn't identify which business Vance, a Republican from Ohio, will visit, but described the venue as "a precision metal stamping facility."
Vance has been traveling the country in recent weeks to promote the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which features an array of tax breaks and spending cuts and which President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4.
"The vice president will deliver remarks on President Trump’s tax cuts for working families and businesses," a Monday evening press release from the White House said of the upcoming Michigan trip.
While Trump has said the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would spur "an economic renaissance like never before," Democrats, including Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Ann Arbor, have blasted the legislation.
“It will make our air and water dirtier and increase pollution, making Americans sicker while kicking people off their health insurance," Dingell said in July. "This big, ugly bill is bad for our economy, it’s bad for families, it’s bad for workers, and it’s bad for Michigan."
Trump, along with his running mate, Vance, won Michigan in the November 2024 election over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris by 1.4 percentage points, 49.7%-48.3%.
The president held a rally in Macomb County in April to celebrate his first 100 days in office.
Vance's last event in Michigan occurred in March in Bay County, where he visited a plastics manufacturer.
