JD Vance Sells Trump’s ā€˜Megabill’ to Rust Belt, Boosts No-Tax Overtime Dreams

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance, Rust Belt native and 2028 GOP frontrunner, embarks on a Midwest tour through La Crosse, Wisconsin’s steel fabrication wonderland, plus swing state holy lands Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. He's hawking the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act'—Trump’s vintage economic souvenir—promising 'historic tax relief,' mysteriously excluding taxes on tips and overtime, apparently now America’s newest patriotic gestures. His spokesman brags Trump 'diligently fulfills campaign promises' and rebrands the tax code as a job-creating cheerleader for domestic manufacturing. Vance’s pitch comes amid headline fears tariffs might act like a bucket placed under a leaky factory roof; workers clutch hopes as much as their paychecks.
