Vance Tells Voters the Ballot Box Is Their Job in Tuesday's Midterms
JD Vance spent the eve of Tuesday's midterms pushing voters to deliver wins for Republican candidates nationwide, calling it their responsibility. In a follow-up post, he touted Trump-era tax cuts — claims the Associated Press calls misleading.
Vice President JD Vance has a simple ask before Tuesday's midterm elections: show up, and vote Republican. In a message to supporters, he framed turning out for the party's candidates nationwide as their personal responsibility, not the campaign's.
Writing on his personal X account, Vance called for a message to be sent to "the radical left," adding that Republicans have "an amazing slate of Republican candidates nationwide, it's your job now to make sure they get elected." He also urged followers to "make a plan to vote" and to bring a friend along.
Vance didn't stop at one post. From his official vice presidential account, he shifted to the administration's economic record, claiming the Trump White House had ended taxes on overtime, tips and Social Security.
The Associated Press pushed back on that framing, describing the claims as misleading. More than 40 states haven't implemented the federal tax changes, according to the AP, and the Social Security provision was a temporary benefit aimed at seniors' income rather than a permanent end to taxation on those payments.
The two-pronged push — a raw turnout appeal on a personal account and a policy pitch on the official one — lands as voters head to the polls Tuesday. Whether the message moves turnout is the question the results will answer.
