Republican vice presidential nominee, Sen. J.D. Vance, of Ohio, spoke near the site of a major bombing. Electric Vehicle Battery Factory The project accused Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and the current Democratic administration of “helping China destroy and replace our nation's auto industry from the inside.”
Vance held a campaign event Tuesday in Big Rapids, Michigan, nearby where Goshon Corp., quietly registered as a Chinese foreign corporation, plans to build a $2.4 billion electric vehicle battery factory in 2023, according to FARA filings.
Vance, referring to Harris's Inflation Control Act of 2022, said that her “runoff vote to skyrocket inflation” has “entitled Chinese companies like Guozan to millions of your taxpayer dollars.”
“Some in the Obama administration have said the Gochon plant is a threat to American national security,” Vance told the audience, “yet Kamala Harris is not only going to allow the Chinese Communist Party to build factories on American soil, she's going to pay for them with our tax money.”

“The Democrats in this state, and Kamala Harris too, are trying to give hundreds of millions of dollars to companies that have priced out Michigan autoworkers. What a disaster,” he added. “Donald Trump thinks differently. He's going to keep digging anyway. We're going to free the American worker and bring back our great factories.”
The senator also addressed the drama surrounding a planned debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris, following reports that the presidential candidates were at odds over debate rules ahead of the live event on September 10.

“He thinks it's important for the American people to watch his debates, and especially Kamala Harris, because she's been pushed out of the media the whole campaign,” Vance said in an exclusive interview with Fox News reporter Aisha Husney at the Michigan event. “And he doesn't like that they're trying to change the rules at the last minute because they've realized that Kamala Harris isn't that good in this field.”

Vance also addressed a letter that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Monday, revealing that he had been under pressure from the Biden-Harris Administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding COVID-19-related content.

“This should be shocking news,” Vance told Fox about the letter. “The leader of one of the most important social networks in the world has publicly stated that he censored Donald Trump before the election because there were certain forces within the Biden administration and Biden campaign encouraging him to do so. This is insanity. This is an expose on censorship that has influenced an American election.”
