Vance Promotes Trump Tax Cuts in Georgia, Attacks Ossoff

Published 21 August 2025

Vice President JD Vance traveled to Georgia on Thursday to promote President Donald Trump’s signature domestic policy measure, framing the tax cuts as a working‑family boon while sharpening attacks on Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who is considered one of the party’s most vulnerable incumbents in the 2026 cycle. The trip included a stop at an industrial refrigeration manufacturing facility in Peachtree City and a speech at an Atlanta Republican National Committee gathering, part of a broader campaign push to keep the GOP tax agenda at the center of next year’s races.

At the Peachtree City plant, Vance argued that the so‑called One Big Beautiful Bill would increase take‑home pay for Georgia families while expanding deductions on tips and overtime pay. He cast the tax cuts as a direct benefit to working people who “bust their rear ends every single day,” and he argued that the legislation should be marketed as a reward for hard work rather than a penalty. He also linked the policy to border and health‑care concerns, asserting that the administration’s changes would safeguard health care resources for American families by targeting benefits tied to illegal immigration.
