Vice President JD Vance warns the midterms will determine the direction of the country on crime, energy, border security, and fentanyl, declaring, “All of these things are on the ballot.”:
“If the Democrats win, here’s what’s going to happen: congressional investigations, as far as I can see, not good policymaking for the American people. You’re going to have American energy prices skyrocket because they’re going to go to war against American coal, oil, and natural gas. You’re going to see our streets become less safe. Our police officers are going to be underpaid. Our troops are going to be underpaid. Your community, which has seen historic reductions in violent crime, is going to see that violent crime start to tick back up. And where we had Tren de Aragua on the run, remember, the Democrats said it was reasonable for them to overtake a few American apartment buildings? We said, ‘No, that’s unacceptable.’ So you’re going to see those cartels start to dominate the American economy and the American southern border again. And then finally, Sean, something we don’t talk enough about, and I think I have to do a better job at this: we have historically low rates of fentanyl overdoses in the United States of America because we finally went to war against those drug cartels. All of these things are on the ballot.”
