WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance urged Republican voters to turn out in force Tuesday, Nov. 3, using an Election Day message on X to condemn the political left and rally support for GOP candidates as Republicans sought to maintain control of the House and Senate.
In a post published from his personal social media account, Vance called on Americans to reject what he described as the radical left’s agenda and help elect Republicans nationwide. The message followed weeks of campaign appearances in competitive states, including stops in New York and Ohio on Monday, as the Trump administration worked to mobilize voters ahead of the midterm elections.
“Today’s the day America. Get out there and send a message to the radical left that we don’t want their bullshit,” Vance wrote. “We have an amazing slate of Republican candidates nationwide, it’s your job now to make sure they get elected. Make a plan to vote, bring a friend, and let’s win this thing.”
The Election Day post,, emphasized turnout as the decisive responsibility of Republican supporters following months of campaigning by President Donald Trump, Vance and GOP candidates.
Vance’s message came after a concentrated national campaign effort alongside Trump. According to Breitbart’s account of their campaign travel, the president and vice president made a combined 50 appearances following the Republican National Committee’s September convention in Dallas. Trump accounted for 31 stops, while Vance made 19, traveling from southeastern states to Alaska and repeatedly visiting Ohio, his home state.
The administration’s campaign strategy focused on retaining Republican congressional majorities while helping GOP candidates compete in gubernatorial and other statewide contests. Trump and Vance emphasized immigration enforcement, public safety, economic policy, government spending and domestic manufacturing, frequently portraying the election as a choice between continuing the administration’s agenda and returning congressional power to Democrats.
Vance also assumed a prominent organizational role within the Republican National Committee, serving as finance chair during the 2026 election cycle. The party raised more than $126 million and directed over $50 million to Republican campaign committees, according to figures reported in October.
The vice president’s final campaign appearances reinforced policy themes he had emphasized throughout the election season. During an Oct. 28 event in Kinston, North Carolina, Vance appealed to voters concerned about education, public safety, housing affordability and employment opportunities, describing those issues as central to the administration’s priorities.
“I want for your family what I want for my own children: I want them to go to schools that educate them instead of indoctrinate them. I want them to be able to walk down the street in safety. I don’t want you to have to be a rich person to afford a home. We’re going to make sure your tax dollars go to the things they should, not to fraudsters. I want your police officers to know that we’re going to empower them to put bad guys behind bars. I want to send a message to the business community that if you’re willing to work with us and invest in American workers — American jobs ought to go to American workers,” Vance said.
The North Carolina speech, reported by Breitbart, also drew on Vance’s personal background. He recalled growing up in Middletown, Ohio, being raised by his grandparents and later serving in the Marine Corps, connecting those experiences to his support for policies intended to increase opportunities for American workers and families.
Vance argued that economic and political leaders had neglected domestic workers while pursuing policies that benefited international competitors. His remarks reflected the administration’s emphasis on economic nationalism, including encouraging manufacturers to invest in American production and prioritizing domestic employment.
The Election Day appeal followed Trump’s own closing campaign message Monday at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington. The president urged supporters who voted for him in 2024 to participate in the midterms, arguing that Republican success depended on turning out voters who had helped return him to the White House.
Republicans entered Tuesday’s elections defending their congressional majorities against Democratic efforts to regain control of one or both chambers. The outcome will determine the administration’s ability to advance its legislative priorities during the remaining two years of Trump’s presidency.
Vance’s unusually direct social media message reflected the high stakes Republicans attached to turnout, particularly in competitive districts where relatively small differences in participation could affect the results. The vice president concluded his appeal by encouraging supporters to make voting plans and bring others to the polls, shifting the focus from the administration’s campaign appearances to participation by individual voters.
Voting continued nationwide Tuesday, with election officials preparing to count ballots and report results after polls closed in their respective states.
