According to a post on the X platform, Sen. J.D. Vance and his wife, Usha, visited a woman who was ill during his rally in Traverse City, Michigan, on Wednesday.
“New: When @JDVance walked off stage in Traverse City, he saw a woman being treated at the medical tent,” Politico national correspondent Adam Wren wrote on his account, accompanied by a picture. According to a familiar source, he and Usha went over to see how she was doing. The woman is doing fine.
J.D. Vance ended his speech to supporters in northern Michigan on Wednesday, after spending over an hour endorsing Donald Trump’s intentions for a second term, with a straightforward call to action: encourage early voting in the 2024 presidential election and bring your friends along.
“I firmly think that Election Day should be held in place of Election Season. But, my friends, it is what it is. According to the Detroit News, the Ohio Republican stated during his speech at the Northwestern Michigan Fair that “we have election season.” “We must follow the rules and play to win because it is here, at least for the time being.”
He warned that unforeseen circumstances, like family emergencies, could interfere with Election Day voting plans, but he made no mention of early or absentee voting.
This strategy is in contrast to earlier Republican remarks, such as those made by Trump, who expressed reservations about early voting and might have turned off some supporters. According to the outlet, it seems to be a part of the Michigan GOP’s plan to rally “low propensity” or infrequent voters in order to improve the party’s chances in the hotly contested 2024 election.

Speaking to the audience in front of Vance, Pete Hoekstra, the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, repeated the same point. Noting that Michigan clerks had just mailed out absentee votes, he asked listeners to urge their friends and family to cast their ballots.
“The work being done by grassroots Republicans throughout the state has me ecstatic,” he remarked. “What can you do now that volunteers are organizing this event, knocking on doors, making phone calls, and hanging signs? Cast your ballot.
During his campaign rally at the fairgrounds south of Traverse City, Vance became the first candidate to visit Michigan’s northernmost point this election year. In his opening remarks, he acknowledged his wide-ranging involvement in Michigan, a swing state that both Trump and Harris consider essential to their campaigns, according to the Detroit News.
Prior to the event, a statement from the Trump campaign stated that Michigan takes pride in being the world’s auto capital and that it is the foundation of the state’s economy. “President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to bolstering and reviving the auto industry, beginning with promoting manufacturing jobs in the United States.”
