During his visit, Vance stated that every vote in Michigan is critical, highlighting the state's historical significance in American manufacturing and the need for economic revitalization. Fellow Republican candidate Mike Rogers also spoke at the event, discussing rising fuel prices and their impact on families, underscoring the economic struggles citizens face. Vance's campaign strategy focuses on appealing to working-class voters by contrasting the 'real economy' of manufacturing with what he terms the 'fake economy.'

The event took place at Cordes Inc., a local industrial trucking company, demonstrating a connection to the region's economic landscape.
