FACT: Vance backs Trump’s Project 2025 agenda that includes giving handouts to the ultra-wealthy (again) at the expense of working Americans and risks supercharging inflation.

Vance on Trump’s plan that would raise tariffs to kill the income tax for wealthiest Americans and raise costs for hardworking families: “This is a fascinating proposal and we could talk for a while about it.”

Trump: “You’re all people that have a lot of money … You’re rich as hell. … We’re gonna give you tax cuts.”

FACT: Vance opposes legislation that protects unions, standing firmly against working people.

Politico: “Vance has consistently opposed the PRO Act, the ‘holy grail of pro-union labor reform’ that organized labor and its allies on the Hill have been fighting for over two years to get passed.”

FACT: Vance has railed against Social Security and Medicare and criticized the Affordable Care Act, which Trump is pushing to “terminate.”

Vance: “[Social Security and Medicare] are the biggest roadblocks to any kind of real fiscal sanity.”

Vance: “The way forward is as obvious as it is politically difficult: … reform current entitlements and avoid enacting new ones.”

Vance, in a New York Times Op-Ed: “It is true, as Republicans argue, that health care costs too much. And it is also true that Obamacare has failed to take care of this problem.”
