Though Nevada has not voted for a Republican president since 2004, Biden’s support among Latino and young voters had been ebbing here, according to a June Fox News poll.
That poll and others found Trump with small leads over Biden. But in this young, diverse swing state, Democrats hope that Harris may appeal to voters who felt unrepresented by two elderly White male candidates.
“I’m hearing a lot of newfound excitement,” said Maria Nieto Orta, 24, president of the Young Democrats of Nevada. “I think that is really coming from the vice president not only being a woman, but a woman of color and being younger. I think we really resonate with that a lot.”
More than 3,000 Nevadans have signed up to volunteer for Harris since she became the likely nominee. Nationally, the campaign has raised $200 million and recruited over 170,000 new volunteers, according to an internal campaign memo seen by The Washington Post.
For the Democrats to win, particularly in Las Vegas, they must stay focused on a strong economic message — one that offers answers to the housing crisis embroiling the city, Pappageorge argued.
“She has got to stay very tough on this economic message that she is going to be the ‘Housing President,’ the president that is going to make sure that people can afford their rents and they can afford to own their own homes,” he said.
Most polls have shown that Latino voters in particular, who make up 20 percent of the electorate in Nevada, are still making up their minds.Housing “is not one of those pressure point ‘be angry or be afraid’ type issues,” Cosgrove said of the parties battling for votes.
“They need to come in with something concrete.”

Voting for a felon as they bow their heads in prayer. Trump truly loves his uneducated followers with absolute zero regard for decency.

When selecting the leader you need to consider three criteria 1. Ideology 2. Leadership ability 3. Character which includes honesty and commitment to the Constitution.
A lot can happen in the next three months of a presidential election season. But with Democrats energized, and Republicans trying to figure out the whole JD Vance thing, this looks a lot like 2008. Except that John McCain was actually a decent guy.
