Vice President JD Vance traveled to Peachtree City, Georgia, on 21 Aug. to promote President Donald Trump’s recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping tax and domestic-policy measure that makes the 2017 individual and business tax cuts permanent and adds new deductions for tips and overtime pay. Speaking at a commercial refrigeration plant, Vance attacked Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff for opposing the legislation, calling the lawmaker “far-left” and urging voters to hold him accountable in the 2026 midterms. He warned fellow Republicans not to “take anything for granted,” saying Democrats were still seeking to register non-citizens to vote in federal elections. The White House says the law will reward working families and spur business investment. Opponents, including Ossoff, argue the changes could strip health coverage from more than 100,000 Georgians and strain hospital budgets; a Southeast Georgia hospital has cited a projected US$3.5 million shortfall next year. A July Fox News poll found 58 percent of registered voters oppose the bill, while 39 percent approve. Vance’s Georgia remarks also underscored the administration’s hard-line stance on illegal immigration. The vice president repeated claims that sanctuary policies endanger Americans and said the government must prioritize citizens over “low-wage foreigners.” The messaging signals that immigration and the tax law will be central themes for Republicans as they defend their slim congressional majorities next year.
