In Michigan, Vance says Trump wouldn't give Musk's Tesla preferential treatment
Campaigning in Michigan, Sen. JD Vance was asked if, given Elon Musk's involvement in Trump's campaign, a Trump administration would give preferential treatment to Musk's Tesla over Detroit's Big Three automakers -- General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Stellantis.
Vance said no.
Since 2008, Saginaw County and Michigan have voted for the person who would win the presidential election. Asked by local reporters how important carrying Saginaw County and Michigan is for a path to 270 electoral votes, Vance said it was "extremely important."
"Michigan is one of, if not the very most important battleground state," Vance said.
Michigan is home to thousands of Big Three employees.
