JD Vance to make first political speech in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE (TND) — The GOP Vice President nominee is expected to speak inWisconsin on Friday.

Donald Trump’s running mate will be speaking at the Milwaukee Police Association’s headquarters at 11 a.m. CT.

It’s Ohio Senator JD Vance’s first time giving a political speech inMilwaukee, but his second in Wisconsin.

The Republican slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for not making herself available for interviews during his campaign stop in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, another battleground state.

“I think I have have to go before the American people and make a case for why I deserve to have that job. I think it’s disgraceful that Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are running from every media interview… running from every reporter,” Vance said on Thursday.

Vance’s campaign pointed the finger at the Harris and Biden administration saying,”dangerously liberal Democrats have done absolutely nothing” to address crime in places like Milwaukee.

“President Donald Trump and JD Vance know Wisconsinites can’t take another four years of weak leadership and they are devastated to see Americans suffer because of the Democrats’ soft on crime agenda,” the campaign stated.

Gov. Walz and Harris are expected at their rally inMilwaukee next week.

Earlier this week, the Harris campaign noted violent crime has been on a decline under the Biden-Harris administration.

“While Vice President Harris has helped oversee the largest drop in homicides in 50 years, JD Vance is running alongside a convicted felon who saw violent crime skyrocket when he was president and tried to overturn an election on January 6th,” stated Brianna Johnson, the Harris campaign’s Wisconsin communications director. “Vice President Harris is the only candidate who will keep our communities safe and protect our democracy.”

Trump is slated to hold a rally in Wilkes-Barre this weekend while Harris and her running mate kick off a bus tour in Pittsburgh on Sunday just before the Democratic National Convention.
