Vice President Vance speaks at pre-election campaign rally in Oneida County

The vice president urged Republicans to turn out as early voting topped 17,000 ballots in Oneida County, officials said.

  • On Monday, Vice President JD Vance headlined a rally at Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York, to boost Republican congressional candidates Anthony Constantino and Kailee Buller ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections.
  • Republican Constantino faces dairy farmer Blake Gendebien for the 21st Congressional District seat previously held by longtime Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who announced she would not seek reelection this year.
  • Despite recent Siena Poll data showing Gendebien leading 46% to 42%, Republicans hold an 80,000-voter registration advantage in the district. Vance praised the region's people while Constantino criticized the media.
  • Gendebien criticized the rally as a 'stunt' to 'bail out' his opponent, citing $6 diesel costs and Medicaid cuts. Indivisible Mohawk Valley, a progressive movement opposing the Trump administration, planned a protest against the visit.
  • Voters head to the polls Tuesday for the midterm election, with control of the House of Representatives at stake. More than 17,000 early votes were cast in Oneida County during the nine-day early voting period.
