Republican Vice-Presidential nominee JD Vance (R-OH) has accused Kamala Harris of not caring about American workers during a press call on Wednesday morning with union members. Vance argues that the Biden-Harris administration’s flood of illegal immigration, which undercuts wages for American workers, is evidence of her disregard for working people in the United States.
Vance pointed to Harris’ criticism of former President Donald Trump’s tariff plans as proof of her lack of concern for American workers. He emphasized that tariffs are essential for protecting American jobs and wages from foreign competition, particularly from countries using slave labor. Vance criticized Harris’ refusal to use tariffs to protect American workers, arguing that it has led to the loss of many jobs and industries in the United States.
The Republican nominee also highlighted Harris’ attacks on Trump over his tax policy, which he claims would raise taxes on American workers while rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas. Vance contrasts this with Trump’s policy, which focuses on cutting taxes for American workers and penalizing businesses that outsource jobs.
Finally, Vance criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to illegal immigration, accusing Harris of favoring “illegal labor” over American workers. He argued that the millions of undocumented immigrants who have entered the country under her watch are driving down wages for American citizens and legal residents by competing against them for jobs.
In conclusion, Vance expressed support for Trump’s policies, stating that they protect American workers while promoting economic growth. He also mentioned the strong backing from unions his campaign has received, highlighting the potential impact this could have on the upcoming election.
