Vice President JD Vance campaigned for Michigan Republican candidates at a rally in Sterling Heights. He spoke on the movement to codify guidelines requiring those who wish to obtain commercial driver's licenses to pass an English proficiency exam. He said he believed it was important for American jobs to not go to "low-wage foreigners." Mr. Vance also commented on Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, saying there was something "very, very evil" about him and accusing him standing up "for one group at the expense of others." He also admonished Dr. El-Sayed for campaigning with progressive streamer Hasan Piker and said Dr. El-Sayed empathizes with terrorists. The vice president also pushed back on comments Dr. El-Sayed made about the second lady, Usha Vance, and stated "keep my wife's name the hell out of your mouth, because she's way out of your league."
