Sorensen SILENT about Illinois jobs leaving the country

September 24, 2024

Yesterday, President Trump proposed a 200% tariff on John Deere if it outsources manufacturing and ships Illinois jobs out of the country. This comes after John Deere announced that hundreds of production workers at their plant in East Moline would be laid off as they shift their production out of the country to Mexico.

Let’s be clear: Extreme Democrat Eric Sorensen hasn’t lifted a finger to help manufacturing jobs stay in his district, and the reckless rules from the Biden-Harris EPA have been going after John Deere for years. Biden’s EPA targeted John Deere for “violating the Clean Air Act” and Sorensen remained silent.

Sorensen must answer: Does he support Trump’s tariffs on John Deere and admit his reckless policies are causing jobs to leave his district?

“Time and again, extreme Democrat Eric Sorensen proves to be ineffective and out of touch. Instead of fighting for good-paying jobs in Illinois, Sorensen would rather pick fights online about his radical agenda. Now his constituents are paying the heavy price.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
