COLUMBUS, Ohio -- COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vice President JD Vance is hitting his home state on Monday to continue promoting the GOP’s sweeping tax-and-border bill.

He will be in Canton, Ohio, to talk about the bill’s “benefits for hardworking American families and businesses,” according to his office. Aides offered little detail in advance about the visit, but NBC News reported that his remarks will take place at a steel plant in Canton, located about 60 miles south of Cleveland.

The visit marks Vance’s second trip this month to sell the package, filled with a hodgepodge of conservative priorities that Republicans have dubbed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” as the vice president becomes its chief promoter on the road.

In West Pittston, Pennsylvania, Vance told attendees at an industrial machine shop that they should be able to keep more of their pay in their pockets, highlighting the law’s new tax deductions on overtime. Vance also discussed a new children’s savings program called Trump Accounts and how the new law promotes energy extraction, while decrying Democrats for opposing the bill that keeps the current tax rates, which would have otherwise expired later this year.

There's nothing to "sell" except - "Tax breaks for me but not for thee! Ha ha suckers!".

And this -

Their "overtime" will probably not even cover the tariff increases in much of the stuff people buy and the fact that they HAVE to work overtime at all means there are not enough employees to cover the workload during normal shifts.
