Trump meets with Hispanic community in tightly contested Nevada
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former President Donald Trump promised a new wave of legal immigration and greater prosperity for Hispanics as he stopped at a massive warehouse in this city’s enterprise zone Saturday.
“We’re gonna have a lot of people come in, but it has to be done legally,” the ex-prez said at the event organized by Building America’s Future, an advocacy group.
“We did great and for the Hispanic Americans, because that’s why we’re here, I want to just say household income for Hispanic Americans . . . your household income was the highest it ever was; the Hispanic American poverty hit the lowest rate ever.”
An estimated 500 supporters gave up a weekend day to spend time in line and sit patiently for the man who has a 0.2% lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the Silver State.
“We have far more people than the other side,” Trump told the crowd. He predicted the Trump-Vance ticket could end up “breaking 50% of the Hispanic vote.”
That optimism resonated with Hispanic Nevadans who said Biden-Harris-era inflation has hit them hard.
“We are on a Democratic diet right now,” Lydia Dominguez, the Air Force veteran and candidate for the Clark County School Board, told the audience, referring to the inflation she’s faced since 2021 and its impact on her grocery tab. “And I’m tired of being on that diet.”
Harris, whose surrogates acknowledge being “scared” about her prospects here, made her own appeal to Hispanic voters Thursday, taping a Univision town hall broadcast at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus.
Trump spoke at an event moderated by former Rep. Maya Flores, R-Tex., with Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sam Brown and Robert Unanue, the controversial CEO of Goya Foods.
To laughter from the Spanish-speaking audience members, Unanue dubbed Harris “Que Mala” — “So bad” — and lamented the performance of the Biden-Harris economy, where he said the price of cans used by his factory has shot up 64% since 2021. Higher fertilizer prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he said, have also impacted the Hispanic foods company.
Before the event, supporters said they’re hoping another Trump administration would help their businesses and families.
The Rev. Jonathan Quezada, pastor of The Harvest LV Church in Henderson, brought his three children to the event, telling The Post, “We’re Trump supporters more than anything. He represents a lot of the values that we have and that we represent. So we just want to get [him] to the finish line.”
This week, Real Clear Politics gave the state to Trump in its survey of “no toss-up” states.

RENO, Nev. (Nevada Athletics) – Nevada women’s basketball returned home after two weeks of being way, hosting Weber State, where Lexie Givens jumped to eighth all-time in rebounds in the 66-62 loss to the Wildcats.
Givens recorded 12 rebounds on the night, bumping her to eighth in the Nevada women’s basketball record book after tying ninth last season. With her rebounds, combined with 10 points, Givens got her first double-double of the season.
The first half started out strong for the Wolf Pack as they scored the first points off of free throws by Dymonique Maxie.
Nevada only gave up the lead once in the opening quarter, which it quickly got back and maintained throughout the remainder of the first 10.
Quarter two began with the Pack up 17-9.
The lead stayed with Nevada through five minutes, with Weber State slowly cutting into it. With 5:13 left in the half, the game was tied at 23. Nevada then found itself playing from behind for the rest of the quarter, trailing 40-27 heading into the break.
In the third quarter, Nevada began its comeback, cutting a once 15-point Wildcat lead down to just six. An eight-point run by the Wolf Pack allowed them to get back into it, beginning with free throws by Rakiyah Jackson. She was followed by back-to-back layups, scored first by Audrey Roden and then Izzy Sullivan.
Givens capped off the run with two more made free throws.
Weber State extended its lead a bit heading into the fourth, Nevada down, 51-43.
The final 10 saw the Wolf Pack’s first lead since the second quarter. Nevada inched its way back in front after a three-pointer by Roden, putting the Pack up, 57-56, with just over five minutes remaining in the game.
Nevada tried to keep the lead, but was unable to hold on, dropping the hard-fought battle to Weber State.
Roden, Maxie and Jackson all led the team with 11 points a piece. Jackson also recorded seven rebounds, followed by Olivia Poulivaati with six. Maxie led both teams in steals with a season high of five.
Nevada will remain at home to take on Morgan State on Sunday at 1 PM.
