Vance has been described as a new breed of ostensibly pro-labor Republican, but it was clear many of the firefighters in attendance weren’t buying it.

Trump was vehemently anti-union throughout his first term, stacking agencies with appointees hostile to labor and trying to break federal employee unions. That record has left Vance with a difficult rebranding assignment.

As HuffPost cataloged earlier this year, Trump pursued a slew of reforms while president that were meant to help employers at the expense of workers. He tried to put a fast-food CEO in charge of the Labor Department; made it easier for businesses to hide workplace injuries; tried to give restaurants more control over workers’ tips; and made it harder for workers to organize, among many rules and attempted reforms.

Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement that Vance “tried selling firefighters on the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda to undermine workers, gut labor protections, and cut overtime pay – and got hosed.”
