Harris is set to rally again in Las Vegas as both campaigns emphasize swing-state Nevada
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is set to rally in Las Vegas on Sunday night as both she and Republican Donald Trump continue to make frequent trips to Nevada, looking to gain momentum in the swing state as Election Day nears.
The rally is part of Harris’ latest West Coast swing, which included making her first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border since taking over for President Joe Biden atop the Democratic presidential ticket. On Friday, the vice president walked alongside a towering, rust-colored border wall fitted with barbed wire in Douglas, Arizona, and met with federal authorities.
She attended a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday and had plans for a Sunday event in Los Angeles before heading to Nevada, with a return to Washington set for Monday night.
“This race is as close as it could possibly be,” she said Saturday to a raucous crowd of donors. “This is a margin-of-error race.”
Harris said even if there is enthusiasm, she’s running like an underdog. And she invited people to “join our team in battleground states” to help get voters to the polls — even if it’s Californians making calls from home.
All voters in Nevada automatically receive ballots by mail unless they opt out — a pandemic-era change that was set in state law. That means most ballots could start going out in a matter of weeks, well before Election Day on Nov. 5.
Harris plans to be back in Las Vegas on Oct. 10 for a town hall with Hispanic voters. Both she and Republican rival Donald Trump have campaigned frequently in the city, highlighting the critical role that Nevada, and its mere six votes in the Electoral College, could play in deciding an election expected to be exceedingly close.
Trump held his own Las Vegas rally on Sept. 13 at the Expo World Market Center, where Harris is speaking Sunday. Her campaign has frequently scheduled events in the same venue where her opponent previously spoke, including in Milwaukee, Atlanta and suburban Phoenix. During his Las Vegas event, the former president singled out people crossing into the U.S. illegally, saying Harris “would be the president of invasion.”
During a campaign stop in the city in June, Trump promised to eliminate taxes on tips received by waiters, hotel workers and thousands of other service industry employees. Harris used her own Las Vegas rally in August to make the same promise.
Fully doing away with federal taxes on tips would probably require an act of Congress. Still, Nevada’s Culinary Union, which represents 60,000 hospitality workers in Las Vegas and Reno, has endorsed Harris.
Ted Pappageorge, the culinary union’s secretary-treasurer, said the difference between the dueling no-taxes-on-tips proposals is that Harris has also pledged to tackle what his union calls “sub-minimum wage,” where employers pay service industry workers small salaries and meet minimum wage thresholds by expecting employees to supplement those with tips.
“That shows us she’s serious,” Pappageorge said.
Harris has no public schedule on Tuesday, when her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, squares off against Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance for the first and only vice presidential debate of the campaign. But Harris and Walz will campaign jointly on Wednesday, making a bus tour with various stops through central Pennsylvania.
The campaign says that during that swing, both will emphasize plans to energize U.S. manufacturing, including by using tax credits to encourage steel production and overhaul federal permitting systems to increase American construction.

LIVE BLOG: Nevada Legislature expands length of Special Session on Day 7
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The 36th Special Session has officially hit the week-mark on Wednesday morning, and legislators have agreed to extend their time in Carson City to work on additional bills.
Since 1867, this is the first time that lawmakers have independently called to meet on an urgent matter: affordable housing. The petition was signed early Wednesday to have the session address corporations buying up homes in the valley.
And notably, this bill has garnered bipartisan support.
In a release about the expansion, Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro shared the following statement:
The focus of the expanded agenda will be the revival of SB391 (now SB10), a measure designed to curb the monopolization of the house market by Wall Street hedge funds and out-of-state corporations.
According to a release, the bill seeks to limit the number of homes corporate entities can purchase annually to reduce artificially inflated home prices and avoid squeezing out homebuyers.
As for other bills, the Senate passed the Governor-backed crime bill (AB4) after midnight Tuesday. After enrollment, it will head to Governor Lombardo’s desk.
Additionally, a new bill was introduced late into the night, which would tackle an extension of AB4: order-out corridors. If passed, Senate Bill 9 would clarify parameters around “ordering out” repeat offenders from the Strip.
Here’s the latest on other bills FOX5 has been tracking:
- Statewide Cybersecurity (AB1) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- Alcohol Delivery (AB2) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- Film Bill (AB5) – Waiting in General File for further discussion/vote.
- School Zone Bill (AB6) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- SNAP funding (SB3) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
- Windsor Park Relocation (SB6) – Headed to Governor’s Desk
FOX5 is giving you real-time updates on what’s happening in Carson City:
10:45 a.m. — Joint meeting of Senate and Assembly Committees on Jobs and Economy convenes to discuss SB10.
9:36 a.m. — Senate goes into recess.
9:05 a.m. — Senate convenes with roll call and a prayer. SB10 is formally introduced and referred to the committee. Some confusion from lawmakers about access to language of the bill, others clarify it should be available shortly.
This is a developing story, check back later for updates.
