Greetings from Middletown, Ohio, where an event at Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works steel plant featuring Vice President JD Vance has begun with a prayer and pledge led by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose leading the Pledge of Allegiance.
The vice president is expected to arrive by motorcade under sunny skies and temperatures inching into the 80s.
More reports throughout the event.
