Last week, in Las Vegas, Vice President Kamala Harris held one of the largest rallies in state history making Nevada tied for her most visited battleground state this year. Nevada was the first state she visited in 2024, the first battleground state to echo President Biden’s endorsement of Vice President Harris, and the first early primary battleground state to unanimously pledge its delegates to Vice President Harris. This battleground state is uniquely equipped to deliver the White House for Vice President Harris and folks are starting to take notice.
See what people are saying about the Western Wall below:
GABBY BIRENBAUM: Particularly with Vice President Harris, now at the top of the ticket, her strengths, particularly relative to President Biden, they feel like align exactly with the demographics of the voter base in Nevada. So that would be voters of color and young voters. Those are two groups that are disproportionately large compared to other swing states in Nevada. Nevada is a majority minority state. The Southwest in general is younger than Upper Midwest, and so they feel like Harris’s strengths dovetail really nicely with the Nevada electorate.
BASIL SMIKLE JR: She’s doing better among Latino voters than even Joe Biden did, and that means Arizona and Nevada are in play in ways that they were not before extremely important moment for the campaign if she holds this really tough line, it could mean success in November.
ASHLEY ETIENNE: Polls show that about 70% of voters are still undecided. Majority of those voters are black and brown, younger voters, and so that gives [Kamala Harris] a leg up in places like Arizona and Nevada. Those states have now come on the map, now as possibilities for her.
