Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, spoke to Pennsylvania voters about energy and the American trucking industry.
Ohio Sen. JD Vance told battleground state voters that Vice President Kamala Harris is running a “copycat campaign” after her staffers revealed the Democratic presidential nominee was shifting her stance on several key policies, including an electric vehicle mandate.
Vance held a campaign event in Erie, Pennsylvania, Wednesday to deliver remarks on the American trucking industry, energy policy and the economy.
The Republican criticized electric vehicle mandates and claimed Harris wants to “to raise the price of diesel, raise the price of gasoline and have every trucker in this country drive an electric vehicle.”
Harris led the Electric Vehicle Charging Action Plan in December 2021, an effort to ensure 50% of car sales were electric vehicles by 2030. Additionally, the Biden-Harris administration finalized one of its latest environmental regulations in 2024 to require half of all new car and truck sales to be electric.
