Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, plans to visit Macon on Thursday.
Vance’s visit will come just over a week after his colleague, vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, visits Macon. Former President Donald Trump’s campaign said Vance would give speeches on the economy and criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s approach to economic issues.
“As a result of the disastrous policies of the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden administration, Georgians are struggling to feed their families,” the Trump campaign said in an announcement about Vance’s visit. “With inflation at over 21%, Georgia families are spending an average of over $1,000 more per month on basic goods like gas and groceries and have lost an average of $28,502 due to Kamala’s economic policies.”
During Walz’s visit, he highlighted the campaigns’ differing positions on abortion and discussed ProPublica’s reporting that revealed two women in Georgia had died because they did not have legal access to abortion care.
Vance is scheduled to speak at the Edgar H. Wilson Convention Center at 1 p.m. Thursday. Those interested in attending can register online for general admission tickets.
