GREEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The path to the White House seems to have a loop in Michigan.
Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance held another campaign event in West Michigan Tuesday. He spoke around 1:30 p.m. at Majestic Friesians Horse Farms just north of Big Rapids.
Vance was joined by GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers, Congressman Bill Huizenga and former Republican candidate for governor Tudor Dixon.
"I was just Joking with some of the Trump people that they’ll have Michigan driver's licenses by the time we are done with this," Huizenga told FOX 17 Tuesday afternoon. "I know we are all getting assaulted on radio, and television ... but guess what? We’re consequential. Michigan is consequential to the outcome of this election."
Mike Rogers spoke to the crowd of about 1,000 before Vance took the stage.
"I can’t think of a more consequential election than this one," he told the crowd. "This is our chance to let people know we’ve got their back."
It's the same location where Rogers held an anti-Gotion battery plant rally a week ago.
Vance commented on the economy, inflation and manufacturing, spending a chunk of time on Gotion's plans in Green Township.
We’re up here in Big Rapids this morning where Senator J.D. Vance is set to speak in a few hours.

"Kamala not only wants to allow Chinese communist companies to build factories on our soil; she wants to pay them to do it with our tax dollars," Vance said Tuesday.
"We're gonna take this country back; were going to elect Donald J. Trump president, and it's going to start here with the great people of Michigan."
It was Vance's fourth visit to Michigan since being named as Trump's running mate. He made stops in Grand Rapids, Byron Township and Shelby Township over the past 40 days.
"The only serious consequence in November I'm worried about is giving Kamala Harris a disastrous promotion," he said to cheers. "Let's tell Kamala 'you’re fired.' We are not sending you to the Oval Office."
