Kamala Harris Rallies Supporters In Nevada, Where She Has Narrow Lead Over Trump

The vice president returned to Las Vegas at a key moment in the election.
LAS VEGAS – Visiting Nevada for the second time since locking up the Democratic presidential nomination, Vice President Kamala Harris rallied over 7,500 supporters at a convention center in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, hoping to solidify her standing in a state where she leads former President Donald Trump by less than two percentage points.
In Nevada, a state Harris can ill afford to lose, concerns about the economy are at the forefront of voters’ minds. The Battle Born State’s dependence on tourism and the service-sector jobs it supports made it especially vulnerable to disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic – disruptions it is still struggling to overcome.
Accordingly, after extending her “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of Hurricane Helene in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, Harris spent a significant chunk of her half-hour remarks outlining her plans to create an “opportunity economy.”
“I pledge to you as president, I will fight for all Americans,” Harris declared. “And together, we will build a future that includes thinking about our economy in a way that is about lifting everyone up.”
She went on to sketch out the economic proposals she has rolled out in recent weeks. Those plans include increasing the startup tax credit for small business from $5,000 to $50,000; encouraging the construction of 3 million new homes and giving first-time home buyers $25,000 in help with a down payment; providing a $6,000 tax credit to parents of newborns; opening up a host of federal government jobs to people without college degrees; and cracking down on corporate “price gouging.” Harris chose to omit her plan not to tax service-sector workers’ tips, which she rolled out shortly after Trump proposed it.
