Vice President Vance Promotes GOP Spending Bill in Ohio Amid Deep Medicaid, SNAP Cuts

Vice President JD Vance toured a steel facility in Canton, Ohio, to promote President Donald Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill," emphasizing its benefits for American families and businesses. The legislation extends the 2017 tax cuts, increases military and border security spending, and funds aggressive immigration enforcement, including mass deportation efforts. Vance asserted that the bill will put more money in Americans' pockets by preventing tax increases and encouraging domestic investment, citing potential pay increases for families in the Canton area. However, the bill funds these initiatives through significant cuts to Medicaid, food aid programs like SNAP, and clean energy tax credits, while adding over $3 trillion to the national debt within a decade. Vance also addressed questions on government transparency regarding the Epstein list, assuring that the administration is working toward full disclosure while protecting victim identities. Throughout his visit, Vance portrayed the legislation as a necessary step to secure the border, support law enforcement, and boost the domestic economy under President Trump's administration.
