PEACHTREE CITY, GA — Vice President JD Vance was in Georgia today to tout President Trump’s Working Family Tax Cuts and blast Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for opposing the legislation that made them a reality. Earlier this year, Ossoff voted against historic middle-class tax relief that included: eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, funding to permanently secure the border, strengthening Social Security, and unleashing American energy.
Watch Vice President Vance’s remarks here and read a partial transcript below.

TRANSCRIPT
Vice President JD Vance: “Now I am just a Vice President. I’m just a lowly politician, but I’m going to try my hand at prophecy today, ladies and gentlemen, because I see the future of the state of Georgia. And in about a year, you are not going to be able to turn on the television without Senator Jon Ossoff pretending that he supported the Working Families Tax Cut, when in reality, he voted against it.
“And I saw a TV clip of him today. You know why he said he voted against no taxes on overtime? You know why he said he voted against no taxes on tips? You know why he said that he voted to raise your taxes by the biggest amount in a generation in this country? Because he’s allegedly worried about people getting kicked off their health care. Well, you know what? The President United States made a promise, a sacred promise, that the only people who are going to lose access to health care are illegal aliens who shouldn’t be in this country to begin with.
…
“So when you watch those TV commercials in a year and Jon Ossoff – I tell you he’s going to pretend to be a reasonable moderate. He’s actually going to run TV advertisements – I promise you, because I ran against a guy like this in the state of Ohio – where he says that he supported President Trump’s agenda. But in reality, while Jon Ossoff pretends to be a moderate when he comes to Atlanta, he is a far left liberal in Washington, D.C. and that’s the only place that it actually counts if you’re a United States Senator.
“So why don’t we ask Jon Ossoff, why did you vote to raise taxes? Why did you vote to keep illegal aliens on Medicaid? Why did you vote to bankrupt Medicare? Why did you vote to make sure that people who work overtime and earn their income from tips pay as much to the federal government as possible? And the simple answer is, because Jon Ossoff, whatever he pretends to be in his television commercials, he doesn’t give a damn about the Third District, and he doesn’t give a damn about the people of Georgia – but we do, and we’re going to fight for you every single day.”
