Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) on Tuesday called $500 million the Biden administration provided as a grant to convert a Michigan plant to one that produces electric vehicles “table scraps.” The senator from Ohio went on to suggest that the half-billion in funding pales in comparison to job losses the auto industry would suffer if Vice President Kamala ...
