JD Vance Was In Pennsylvania To Push Big Bill

Vice President JD Vance was in the swing political turf of northeastern Pennsylvania to begin selling President Donald Trump’s sweeping budget-and-policy package. Vance’s stop Wednesday in West Pittston is in a working-class district that could see a ferocious congressional campaign next year. Vance’s tiebreaking vote got the bill through the Senate, and he has promoted the bill’s passage as another example of the Trump administration’s “promises made, promises kept.” Debate over the package is expected to shape the 2026 midterm battle for control of the House of Representatives, which Democrats see as their best opportunity to block Trump’s agenda in his final two years in the Oval Office.
