Vice President Kamala Harris will be holding a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday night as both she and Republican Donald Trump continue to focus on Nevada in the lead-up to Election Day.
Harris is currently on a West Coast swing, which included her first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate. She visited Douglas, Arizona, where she walked along the border wall and met with federal authorities. Following a San Francisco fundraiser and an event in Los Angeles, she is now heading to Nevada before returning to Washington on Monday night.
During a fundraiser in San Francisco, Harris emphasized the close nature of the race and urged supporters to join the campaign efforts in battleground states. She also mentioned running like an underdog despite the enthusiasm.
Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake has endorsed Harris and Walz, highlighting their character and love for the country. He expressed a desire for a president who does not treat political adversaries as enemies.
In Nevada, all voters receive mail-in ballots by default, a pandemic-era change that could see ballots being sent out weeks before Election Day. Harris will be back in Las Vegas on Oct. 10 for a town hall with Hispanic voters, underscoring the importance of Nevada’s six Electoral College votes.
Both Harris and Trump have been actively campaigning in Las Vegas, with Trump recently holding a rally at the same venue where Harris will speak. Harris has made promises related to taxes on tips, particularly focusing on addressing the issue of sub-minimum wage in the service industry.
Following the vice presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance, Harris and Walz will embark on a joint campaign tour through central Pennsylvania, emphasizing plans to boost U.S. manufacturing.
