1:05Now PlayingVice President JD Vance on Monday visited a defense technology manufacturer in Brewer, Maine to promote Trump administration policies and campaign for Maine Republicans ahead of the November election.
Vance kicked off his speech with shoutouts for the candidates in two of Maine’s most prominent races this November — Sen. Susan Collins, who is running for reelection against Democrat Troy Jackson, and Bobby Charles, who is running for governor. Charles is facing challenges from Democrat Hannah Pingree and independent Rick Bennett.
Neither Charles not Collins attended the event Monday.
