The Harris-Walz plan for an Opportunity Economy will champion the middle class<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night on the debate stage, while Governor Tim Walz laid out a New Way Forward for America, JD Vance spent the evening lying because he knows Donald Trump\u2019s Project 2025 plans can\u2019t measure up to Vice President Harris\u2019 strong vision or record. Among his many lies, Vance claimed<\/a> Donald Trump did more for American workers and industry as president. In reality, Vice President Harris, in partnership with President Biden, spurred hundreds of billions<\/a> in investments<\/a> in American manufacturing. Vice President Harris\u2019 Opportunity Economy<\/a> will build on this historic success, ensuring America\u2014not China or any other country\u2014wins the competition for the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set the record straight on who has delivered manufacturing wins in the states,<\/em> DNC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere\u2019s the truth on American manufacturing under the Biden-Harris administration: A staggering 15.7 million<\/a> new jobs have been created here at home since President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, with hundreds of billions<\/a> invested in domestic manufacturing. In stark contrast, offshoring went up and manufacturing jobs went down under Trump\u2019s watch. His Project 2025 agenda would double down on that disastrous record while raising costs for working families. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz\u2019s Opportunity Economy will build on historic progress and ensure American workers reap the gains as American industry leads the world in innovation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the battlegrounds and states across the nation, the Biden-Harris administration has created millions of jobs, lifting up the middle class.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Arizona<\/a>: 361.1k new jobs created and $123 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Georgia<\/a>: 487.6k new jobs created and $41 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Michigan<\/a>: 424.7k new jobs created and $28 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nevada<\/a>: 287.4k new jobs created and $10 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In North Carolina<\/a>: 512k new jobs created and $42 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Pennsylvania<\/a>: 544.2k new jobs created and $4 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Wisconsin<\/a>: 191.3k new jobs created and $5 billion in private, domestic manufacturing and clean energy investments announced under Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian<\/a>: \u201cSwing states in US election are biggest winners in Democrats\u2019 landmark climate bill\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the passage of clean energy incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a bill called the \u2018most significant climate law in the history of mankind\u2019 by Joe Biden, nearly $150bn has been announced for a flurry of new American facilities producing electric cars, batteries and components for renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf this, $63bn, or nearly half, will flow to just seven states \u2013 Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin \u2013 that form the battleground fought over by Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for November\u2019s presidential election, bringing more than 50,000 new manufacturing jobs, according to an analysis carried out for the Guardian by Atlas Public Policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Trump broke his promises to Americans, including workers in the Midwest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit News<\/a>: \u201cHistory casts doubt on Donald Trump’s auto industry promises\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYet, the number of jobs in vehicle and parts manufacturing in Michigan declined during Trump’s first term \u2014 including before the COVID-19 pandemic hit \u2014 according to data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. And while there were some additional investments made by the industry in Michigan over his four years in office, there were also auto plants that closed in the state, including the General Motors Co. Warren Transmission plant in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cTrump promised this Wisconsin town a manufacturing boom. It never arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s trade war against China didn\u2019t achieve the central objective of reversing a U.S. decline in manufacturing, economic data show, despite tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese goods to discourage imports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden-Harris administration has created a historic manufacturing boom all across America.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cUS Steel CEO Hails IRA as a \u2018Manufacturing Renaissance Act\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yahoo News<\/a>: \u201cUnder President Biden, however, a manufacturing boom finally seems to be getting started. Since the beginning of 2022, construction spending on new factories has more than doubled, from an annualized rate of $91 billion in January 2022 to $189 billion in April 2023, the latest data available. That\u2019s the biggest jump, by far, in data going back to 2002.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cA surge in manufacturing construction across the country is grabbing the attention of economists and workers on the ground as legislative efforts to reinvigorate the U.S. industrial base are bearing fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cSouth, Mountain West see manufacturing boom under Biden\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cWelcome to Silicon Desert: How Biden helped boost an Arizona boomtown\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, as president, Trump failed American workers and created new incentives for companies to ship jobs overseas. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cTrump promised \u2018America First\u2019 would keep jobs here. But the tax plan might push them overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cThe Offshoring of U.S. Jobs Increased on Trump\u2019s Watch\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuters<\/a>: \u201cHow offshoring rolled along under Trump, who vowed to stop it\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump won the U.S. presidency four years ago, in part, by a promise to Midwest factory workers that he would stop companies like Schneider Electric SE from moving jobs out of the country. He didn\u2019t stop them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Biden-Harris administration, manufacturing and construction employment is higher than at any point during the Trump administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLS, August 2024<\/a>: There were 12,927,000 manufacturing jobs in the U.S., more than at any point under Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLS, August 2024<\/a>: There were 8,280,000 construction jobs in the U.S., more than at any point under Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As president, Kamala Harris will make sure America\u2014not China or any other country\u2014wins the competition for the 21st century.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cHarris outlines $100 billion manufacturing plan, vowing pragmatism over ideology\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
