Vice President JD Vance is hitting the road on Wednesday to tout President Donald Trump’s agenda bill in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to an official in Vance’s office. The vice president will travel to West Pittston in Luzerne County, where he will hold a rally-style event at a manufacturing facility. “This is part of the administration-wide push to message all the incredible benefits to the American people the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ is going to have,” the Vance official said. The trip marks one of the Trump administration’s first concerted efforts to tout the bill since Trump signed it last week, and the president has made it clear he plans to aggressively message the bill’s advantages to voters in the coming months – looking to counter Democratic criticisms that the bill rips Medicaid coverage away from the poor while giving significant tax cuts to the wealthy. Trump himself celebrated the legislation’s passage in Iowa before he officially signed it on Friday, July 4. “We are going to have something where people are going to realize the level of success and popularity of this bill,” Trump said in Iowa. Notably, a Pennsylvania congressman, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, was one of two House Republicans who opposed final passage of the bill.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.
