Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance stepped on stage in Big Rapids, Michigan, on Tuesday and spoke behind a bulletproof glass during his remarks outside -- the first time he's done so at his own campaign event.
Speaking on the economy and jobs at a farm in Michigan, Vance began speaking about the Labor Department overstating its monthly job growth and then accused the Biden-Harris administration of inflating its job numbers to cover up the economy's problems.
"Now, last week, the biggest heist in American history happened right under Kamala Harris' nose," Vance claimed. "Somebody stole 818,000 jobs that she and Tim Walz had been bragging about. Did y'all see that? Where did they go?"
He accused the administration of "cooking the books to hide how bad the economy really is under Kamala Harris."

When discussing Harris' record, Vance claimed that Harris doesn't know what she believes.
"In some ways, I feel bad for Kamala Harris," he said. "... But I'm not sure that this is a woman who knows what she actually believes."
Harris, who laid out her economic agenda earlier this month , is still working to define her stances on several key voter issues. The vice president has already distanced herself from some of her former positions laid out in her 2020 presidential bid.
