Vance argues Republicans must do more on jobs, inflation and energy to win over skeptical voters.
Eight days before the November 3 election, Vice President J.D. Vance visited Montana on Monday to court undecided voters, addressing cost-of-living concerns that polls show remain top of mind for Americans.
Touted as a party accomplishment, Vance emphasized the administration's "over $3 trillion in tax cuts" in the "One Big Beautiful Bill," arguing these measures help create stable, good-paying jobs for American families.
Vance argued the U.S. must "build more refineries, build more facilities" to tackle energy costs long-term, quipping that the Democratic solution is to "whine and build a few windmills."
Attributing high gas prices to Democrat energy policies and the ongoing Iran conflict, Vance urged voters to judge Democrats "by what they've done, not by their well-produced television commercials."
When lawmakers return November 9 for a lame-duck session, Congress must address the Pentagon's annual budget, expiring highway support, and federal funding—a task already three months behind schedule.
