Husted: Trump Saved Kenworth Plant and Added 1,000 Jobs

Thank you, Mr. President, for caring about Ohio and coming back again and again and again to help us win this election on Tuesday. Is that right? I have to tell a story about the president, because one day I got a call from the president and the plant manager from Kenworth, and they said, hey, our plant's in trouble. They said, we need a fair trade deal. Foreign companies are assembling trucks in Mexico, avoiding the costs, and They're undermining our plant here in Chillicothe, and if we don't get a good trade deal, our plant's going to have to close and all of those jobs will go away. They said, can we come see you and can we talk to you quickly? I said, sure, let's go have a conversation, let's get this done, I want to know. And so they told me about their plight, and I called the president, and I called his team, And I explained to them that this plant in Chillicothe, one of the great iconic... Brands in our nation, Kenworth, was in jeopardy of going under if we didn't get them a fair trade deal from people who were trying to undermine it. And immediately, the president and his team took action, saved the plant, and added a thousand jobs right here in Chillicothe. And this is a great thing to remember. When Barack Obama was president, he said all of those manufacturing jobs are going to go away. Let's get used to it. Since Donald Trump has been president, in the last 20 months, we've added 10,000 manufacturing jobs right here in Ohio. Mr. President, you have not let Ohio down. Ohio will not let you down. We will win on Tuesday, won't we, folks?
