Olathe, KS – Hundreds gathered at Webco Manufacturing on Monday for a rally hosted by MAGA Inc., the political action committee of President Trump. Vice President JD Vance addressed the crowd under a banner that read “Defend Our Future,” emphasizing the Trump administration’s role in reviving American manufacturing and curbing illegal immigration.
Trump‑backed manufacturing successes highlighted
Vance highlighted a local success story, noting a Webco employee who earned a promotion and a 50% raise after a year and a half on the job. “Working hard to master a trade and earning a stake in the company you devote your career to—that is the all‑American success story our government should be fighting for every day,” he said.
He predicted that under President Trump’s policies, more factories and assembly lines will be built in the United States, calling it a “great American renaissance in American manufacturing.” Senator Roger Marshall echoed the sentiment, asserting that the administration’s tariffs are already bringing jobs back to Kansas and that the federal government will “always choose hard‑working Americans over China.”
Immigration enforcement and public‑safety message
Vance repeatedly criticized former President Joe Biden’s immigration approach, crediting the Trump administration with a sharp decline in illegal immigration. “It turns out we didn’t need new laws, ladies and gentlemen. We just needed a new president of the United States,” he said, linking illegal immigration to higher unemployment, housing costs, and public‑safety concerns.
He framed the issue as one of love for fellow citizens, not hatred, and urged voters to support policies that protect jobs, wages, and neighborhood safety.
Political rally and election push
The event featured remarks from U.S. Representatives Ron Estes and Tracey Mann, Kansas Senate President and gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson, and Senator Marshall himself. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler introduced the vice president, and Olathe Mayor John Bacon attended without speaking.
Speakers urged attendees to vote Republican in the upcoming midterms, portraying the election as a choice between “common sense” and “crazy” policies. Rep. Mann warned that the political climate now pits “normal” against “radical left,” while Kansas Republican Party Chair Danedri Herbert reminded the crowd that polling was close and every vote mattered.
Protesters and crowd response
Security escorted at least two protesters who shouted that Vance “hates Jesus.” The crowd, many wearing Trump‑branded apparel, cheered the speakers, sang popular songs during breaks, and repeatedly chanted “USA.” Senator Marshall received a few boos, but overall the atmosphere remained supportive of the Republican message.
Vance closed by urging voters to stand behind Senator Marshall, describing him as a “proud servant of this state and a proud Christian to boot.” He asked Kansans to back Marshall in November, emphasizing the senator’s record of supporting mothers, babies, and all Kansas families.
