, OHIO — During a rally in his home state of Ohio, Vice President JD Vance emphasized the Trump administration’s commitment to strengthening domestic labor and revitalizing American industry.

“We know that because we're making smarter decisions in Washington, D.C.,” Vance told a cheering crowd, “we are going to reward all of you for the great work that you're doing — and we're going to reward American companies for investing in American workers, not foreign workers for a change.”

The remarks highlight the administration’s continued focus on reshoring jobs and incentivizing U.S.-based production. Vance also pointed to recent legislative wins aimed at reducing corporate outsourcing and enhancing tax breaks for manufacturers operating within the United States.

Vance’s message resonated with voters in a state that has long been considered a bellwether for American manufacturing, particularly in the automotive and steel industries. Ohio, once hard-hit by globalization, has seen renewed investment under the Trump-Vance administration, including in high-tech manufacturing, defense production, and energy infrastructure.

Supporters praised the vice president for echoing a sentiment many in the Rust Belt have held for years: that American workers deserve to come first.
