Vice Presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) campaigned in New Hampshire on Sunday, two days before the election, after recent polling showed that the previously left-leaning state is in play.
Sen. Vance spoke at the New England Sports Center in Derry, NH.
“What we’re doing is expanding the map. We’re bringing new voters into this coalition, and for the folks in New Hampshire who want to live free, we are the only ticket in town. Donald J. Trump is the only president for you,” said Vance.

Vance reminded voters that Hillary Clinton defeated former President Donald Trump by only 0.37 percent in NH in 2016, urging them to flip the state for President Trump and expressing his optimism about NH’s potential to turn red.
He also referred to a recent viral comment from President Joe Biden in which he called Trump supporters “garbage.”
“We are not garbage for thinking Kamala Harris has done a bad job,” said Vance, “I think in a couple of days the voters in New Hampshire are going to take out the Trash in Washington DC, and that person’s name is Kamala Harris.”
New Hampshire has supported the Democratic presidential candidate in every election starting in 2000 and has been considered a likely win for Vice President Kamala Harris for most of the current election cycle.
That changed following the release of an NH Journal poll that gave former President Donald Trump a slight lead over Vice President Harris.
Polling aggregator RealClearPolitics moved New Hampshire from lean Harris to toss-up status, placing the state’s four electoral votes alongside much larger battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Taking NH would be a big deal
