What happened

Vice President JD Vance announced Cleveland-Cliffs will invest $1 billion in its Middletown Works steel mill during a Friday campaign stop in his Ohio hometown. Speaking at the plant where his grandfather worked as a welder for 40 years, Vance promoted the Trump administration’s America First economic agenda and cited manufacturing job gains. The visit was part of Vance’s effort to campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the November midterms. He later stopped at Price Hill Chili in Cincinnati, where he poured beers and served chili dogs to customers.
