Vice President Vance celebrates the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in Wisconsin as he delivers remarks highlighting President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act and 'historic tax cuts it delivered for working families and businesses’.

"What the Working Families Tax Cuts did is very simple, ladies and gentlemen. It lets you keep more money in your pocket,” Vance told the crowd at a steel fabrication facility in La Crosse.

As the vice president promoted Trump’s tax breaks and spending cuts, he was asked about the administration’s deployment of the National Guard in the nation’s capital, which he defended.

He also pointed to Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s comments Wednesday that having more federal law enforcement officers on the capital's streets had helped.

“The President of the United States is not going out there forcing this on anybody, though we do think that we have the legal right to clean up America's streets if we want to,” Vance said.

Vance said the president wants mayors and governors across the U.S. to invite the federal government to come help them address crime in their cities and questioned why any of those officials have objected to a federal presence.

“Why is it that you have mayors and governors who are angrier about Donald Trump offering to help them than they are about the fact that their own residents are being carjacked and murdered in the streets? It doesn’t make an ounce of sense,” he said.

Vance also addressed the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church, that which two children were killed and 17 people were wounded on Wednesday morning at Annunciation Catholic School.

The vice president said a prayer on stage for the victims of Wednesday’s shooting in Minneapolis.

While Vance spoke about the power of prayer, he said he was not going to speak about what might be done to prevent such a shooting.

“There is going to be a time for politics and there is going to be a time to figure out how to prevent this stuff from happening, how to make these shootings less common in our country,” Vance said. “And I’m not going to speak about that now.”

But Vance praised first lady Melania Trump’s statement earlier Thursday about mental health, also said he thinks “it’s time we start asking some very hard questions about the root causes of this violence.”
