Vance Returns to Middletown Steel Roots | Raleigh News

Vice President JD Vance is returning to his Ohio roots this Friday, hitting the floor at Cleveland-Cliffs’ Middletown Works — the same steel plant where his grandfather built a life and helped his family rise. With midterms looming, Vance is doubling down on Rust Belt nostalgia, rallying voters with manufacturing-focused policies while boosting GOP fundraising. He’ll be joined by Energy Secretary Chris Wright and even stop for Cincinnati chili — proving he’s not just campaigning, but connecting. His book “Hillbilly Elegy” still echoes in these halls, where his grandfather once proudly pointed out cars made from his factory’s steel. As Democrats eye Ohio’s shifting political winds — especially in the tight Senate race against Sherrod Brown — Vance’s tour continues, including a trip to Maine, all while juggling fatherhood after welcoming his fourth child. This isn’t just a hometown visit — it’s a strategic push across battlegrounds.
