What are the three states that JD Vance is focusing on for the "Red Wall" in November?
Vance promises that blue wall states will become red wall states in November.
On Tuesday, Sen. JD Vance resumes his campaign in crucial Michigan.
On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump's potential 2024 running mate will hold events in two crucial swing states - Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
If it feels like déjà vu, it is.
In a recent Planet Chronicle Digital interview in Michigan, the first-term senator from Ohio who advocates for populism stated that they will ensure Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan turn red.
For nearly a quarter-century, Democrats consistently won all three working-class states in presidential elections until Trump narrowly won them in the 2016 election.
In 2020, Trump was defeated by Biden in all three states with razor-thin margins.
The 2024 presidential election will see Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump in a highly competitive battle.
The Republican National Convention took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's largest city, last month. Trump and Vance held their first joint-campaign rally after the convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan, just a few miles north of where Vance was interviewed by Planet Chronicle on Wednesday.
Vance expressed his optimism that the three states will form a "red wall" in November.
Since joining Trump's ticket, the senator, a leading Trump ally in the Senate, has made stops in all three blue wall states. He plans to spend the rest of the summer and autumn spreading Trump's working-class message.
We will ensure that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan turn red by opposing green energy scams that export manufacturing jobs to China rather than keeping them in the US. The message of supporting manufacturing and American workers resonates with people.
Vance stated that his pitch to working-class voters is a "key message that aligns with Donald Trump's campaign and this is an ideal location to convey it."
Trump chose Vance, a senator from Ohio, as his running mate due to his Midwestern and working-class roots in the "Rust Belt" region, which borders Pennsylvania and Michigan.
After his book "Hillbilly Elegy" became a New York Times bestseller and was later adapted into a Netflix film, Vance gained national attention before running for Senate. The book highlighted the values of many working-class Americans who supported Trump's policies.
Vance showcased his Midwestern charm to the trucking company owners and their family during a recent rally in Michigan, as observed by Planet Chronicle.
In his rally speech, he highlighted the significant impact his grandmother, "Mamaw," had on his life.
"I was fortunate enough to achieve the American Dream because I had a tough-as-nails Mamaw," Vance said to the crowd.
The senator will campaign in all seven key battlegrounds, with a specific emphasis on the three blue wall states, according to a longtime Vance ally.
The ally, who requested anonymity to speak more openly, stated, "I believe he spends the majority of his time in Pennsylvania."
"The ally highlighted that the strategy employed by team Trump was a deliberate one, with JD being chosen as VP due to his personal connection to the Rust Belt and his ability to appeal to working class voters in states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The economic populism of JD resonated well with the electorate in these states."
Vance has been criticized by Democrats for his time as a hedge fund executive in San Francisco, where he worked as a principal in a venture capital firm owned by billionaire Peter Thiel, despite being portrayed as a working-class hero.
Harris, who recently replaced Biden as the Democrats' 2024 presidential candidate and chose Minnesota Gov. Walz as her running mate, accuses Vance of being a "rubber stamp" for Trump's "radical agenda."
JD Vance will remain loyal to Trump and not to our country, as Harris has stated.
