With One Week Until the Midterms, Vance Travels to Michigan -- Again -- to Stump for Failed Republican Agenda

Today, JD Vance will travel to Michigan for the second time in less than two weeks -- and less than a week after Donald Trump visited the state -- to promote the failed Republican agenda that has made life more expensive for working families. Trump and Vance's reckless tariffs and deadly and costly war with Iran have hiked prices on everything from gas to groceries, crushing ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 -- The Democratic National Committee posted the following news release: * * * October 27, 2026 With One Week Until the Midterms, Vance Travels to Michigan -- Again -- to Stump for Failed Republican Agenda Today, JD Vance will travel to Michigan for the second time in less than two weeks -- and less than a week after Donald Trump visited the state -- to promote the failed Republican agenda that has made life more expensive for working families. Trump and Vance's reckless tariffs and deadly and costly war with Iran have hiked prices on everything from gas to groceries, crushingeveryday Americans. On top of that, their Big Ugly Bill ripped healthcare away from families and children while shuttering healthcare facilities across the country, including in Michigan.

In response, DNC Deputy Communications Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:

"With one week to go until the midterm elections, JD Vance is desperately trying to defend the failed Republican agenda that has made life harder for everyday Americans. Donald Trump and Vance's disastrous tariffs and war with Iran have caused costs to skyrocket and crushed the job market as working families' paychecks get eaten up by high prices -- yet Vance is doubling down. Voters are sick and tired of the Trump-Vance agenda and are ready to kick Republicans to the curb next week."

REMINDER: Michigan families have spent an additional $4,700 on everyday essentials under Trump and Vance, including $310 for groceries and $1,081 on housing costs. The average price for a gallon of gas in Michigan is now $4.77 and the average price for a gallon of diesel is $6.80. The average Michigan family has shelled out an additional $940 on gas alone since Trump and Vance started their war with Iran. On top of that, experts estimate that at least 171,000 Michiganders will lose healthcare because of Trump and Republicans' $1 trillion cut to Medicaid and their refusal to renew the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.

DNC: Trump's Fraudster Pardons Left Crime Victims Short Millions of Dollars in Restitution

NEW: Trump's Fraudster Pardons Left Crime Victims Short Millions of Dollars in Restitution

New reporting today revealed that Donald Trump's pardons of convicted fraudsters caused crime victims to lose out on at least $119 million in restitution they were owed. In total, there are $1.1 BILLION in federal fines impacted by Trump's orders -- including more than $665 million in restitution requested by prosecutors that was canceled because of Trump pardons. That number grows when factoring ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 -- The Democratic National Committee posted the following news release: * * * October 27, 2026 NEW: Trump's Fraudster Pardons Left Crime Victims Short Millions of Dollars in Restitution New reporting today revealed that Donald Trump's pardons of convicted fraudsters caused crime victims to lose out on at least $119 million in restitution they were owed. In total, there are $1.1 BILLION in federal fines impacted by Trump's orders -- including more than $665 million in restitution requested by prosecutors that was canceled because of Trump pardons. That number grows when factoringin Trump's blanket pardon of January 6th rioters who were ordered to help cover damage to the U.S. Capitol.

At least 18 of Trump's pardon recipients absolved of paying fines or restitution had White House ties, as Trump's allies lobbied for them. A report last month found an extensive marketplace of lobbyists and lawyers that has operated throughout Trump's second term to secure pardons for convicted fraudsters and criminals in exchange for exorbitant payments. Some of Trump's pardons include donors convicted of financial crimes after they, or someone close to them, made massive donations to Trump's organizations.

REMINDER: At a recent town hall, "Fraud Czar" JD Vance claimed he has never seen "a shred of evidence that [Trump] participates or sanctions in corruption."

In response, DNC Deputy Communications Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:

"Donald Trump and his 'Fraud Czar' JD Vance have trafficked in rampant corruption and pay-to-play politics, taking every opportunity to bail out their wealthy and well-connected donors for massive amounts of cash. Trump and Vance promised to 'drain the swamp,' yet their administration has helped out convicted fraudsters while screwing over the Americans and small businesses who were cheated out of their money. Americans are tired of Trump and Vance auctioning off the presidency to the highest bidder while they get left in the dust. In just one week, voters will hold them accountable for their out-of-control corruption."

The Trump family's net worth has nearly doubled since the 2024 election to a whopping $10 billion. Trump himself raked in at least $2 billion since returning to the White House -- more than any other year -- as he engages in shady business deals and hands out special favors to his wealthy donors. Trump has also paused investigations into companies and billionaires who have enriched his family and businesses, including securities fraud cases and investigations into crypto billionaires who infused over $1 billion into Trump-owned crypto ventures.
