Vice President Mike Pence recently went to oversee the production of ventilators at a General Electric factory in Madison, Wisconsin.
On Tuesday, he and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar toured the facility and examined the equipment used to make ventilators amid the latest coronavirus outbreak.
Former Vice President Joe Biden rushed to criticize Pence for his effort by saying he’s using Wisconsin as a “backdrop” for the 2020 electoral campaign. However, Pence praised General Electric for working around the clock to help defeat the virus.
GE Healthcare and this union and all this great workforce stepped up and said, we need to increase production here,”said the vice president. “Every American should be proud of the fact that no American who has needed a ventilator has been denied a ventilator during the coronavirus epidemic.”
 Officials at the industrial company also briefed Pence and Azar on crucial parts and their expected output of ventilators in comings days.
