This is Vance's third visit to Michigan since being named as Donald Trump's running mate. One week ago, Vance visited the Shelby Township Police Station on the east side of the state. His big focus was on illegal immigration. On June 20 he and former President Trump held their first rally after the Republican National Convention in Grand Rapids.
In the press release announcing his stop in Byron Center, the Michigan Republican Party criticized the high cost of living in the state and pitched a Trump-Vance plan to ease financial pressures in Michigan households.
Also speaking at the event was Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate Mike Rogers. Watch his speech below.
