At a Wednesday rally in Glendale, Ohio Sen. JD Vance warned Arizonans of open borders and a bankrupt health-care system if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected president.
The Republican vice presidential candidate, making his first trip to Arizona since his nomination earlier this month in Milwaukee, attacked the Biden-Harris administration for what he claims are their failures at the southern border with Mexico.
Vance and speakers like Sara Workman – an Arizona woman who was also a featured speaker at the Republican National Convention weeks ago – said the border crisis has created a drug epidemic that’s shattered families like hers.
Workman said her ex-husband has struggled with addiction for years.
But she also said electing leaders like Vance, who on the campaign trail often touts humble beginnings in rural Ohio, can give Americans hope.
“His story is the American dream. It gives me hope to keep moving forward and be encouraged,” Workman told the crowd at Arizona Christian University.
And Vance vowed a second Trump administration would close the border, protect American families and make the American dream a reality again.
“Kamala Harris is such a disaster that the dreams we have for our country and for our families, they’re on the ballot in November,” Vance said. “And this is why we have got to reelect Donald J. Trump president of the United States. We've got to do everything that we can to get President Trump over that finish line.”
Harris is expected to make a campaign stop of her own in Phoenix next week.
