Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris visited Nevada on Saturday with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as part of a campaign blitz in battleground states. The Democrats are energized after President Biden withdrew from the race and Harris took over as the top of the ticket. Harris aims to secure support among Latino voters in Nevada, where Biden narrowly beat Trump in 2020. The Culinary Workers Union, with a large Latino membership, endorsed Harris, emphasizing the importance of the state in the election. Harris is focusing on issues such as access to abortion and immigration, criticizing Trump’s handling of these issues. Republicans have criticized Harris on immigration, but AP VoteCast found that a majority of Nevada voters support offering legal status to immigrants living in the US illegally. Harris and Walz have also visited other key states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. These states, along with Nevada and Arizona, represent crucial electoral votes needed to win the election. Harris’ appeal to younger voters could be a game-changer in Nevada, where even Republican voters recognize her enthusiasm and energy. With only a short time until the election, Democrats are hopeful that Harris’ presence on the ticket will secure a victory in November.
