Vice President Kamala Harris held a campaign rally in Las Vegas, poking fun at Donald Trump over his crowd sizes, refusal to debate, and privileged background. Harris’ trip to the West Coast included stops in Arizona and Nevada to shore up support, and fundraising events in California. Her visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona drew ire from Trump, who criticized her during his rallies. Despite the attacks, Harris maintained her focus on discussing issues and highlighted her middle-class background compared to Trump’s affluent upbringing.
During a fundraiser in Los Angeles, Harris emphasized the importance of winning the election and expressed confidence in her campaign’s chances. Celebrities such as Stevie Wonder and Demi Lovato attended the event, which raised $55 million for Harris’ campaign. Notable anti-Trump Republicans, including Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, have endorsed Harris, citing her character and dedication to the country. However, Maryland Senate candidate Larry Hogan has not committed his support to her yet, although he remains critical of Trump.
Harris’ visit to Nevada included a rally with over 7,500 attendees, where she reiterated her commitment to addressing important issues such as immigration. The state mails ballots to all voters by default, a change made in response to the pandemic. Harris and Trump have both campaigned in Nevada frequently, underscoring the state’s importance in the election. Harris plans to return to Las Vegas for a town hall with Hispanic voters and continues to engage with voters across the country.
The rivalry between Harris and Trump remains heated, with Trump making personal attacks against Harris during his rallies and Harris dismissing them as part of an old playbook. Despite the animosity, Harris remains focused on discussing policies and connecting with voters. Her promise to eliminate federal taxes on tips for service industry employees has garnered support from organizations such as the Culinary Union in Nevada. As the election approaches, Harris is determined to win over voters with her message of unity and progress.
Harris’ fundraising efforts in California and campaign stops in battleground states like Arizona and Nevada highlight her commitment to reaching a diverse range of voters. Despite the challenges posed by Trump’s attacks and the closeness of the race, Harris remains optimistic about her chances. Her focus on engaging with voters and addressing key issues such as immigration and economic equality demonstrates her determination to lead the country in a positive direction. As the election day nears, Harris continues to campaign vigorously and build support among a wide range of voters.
