Caucus Day in Nevada, Trump’s Pitch Is All About November: a Reply to an Angry Candidate that has been accused of Crimes
“It would be so sad for this country to be represented by someone that has been accused of crimes.” She mentioned it after voting in the primary. “But you only have one vote.”
If we only look at voter registration across the board, we see how much ground the Democrats are losing in regards to their voter registration advantage.
He points to registration trends among Republicans, the Latino vote and the ongoing concerns about the local economy as reasons why Trump has a good opportunity to win the state in 2024.
If the current and former presidents are on the ballot, she’s resigned to voting for the former, but would prefer not to.
She said that she was exactly who they wanted. The Republican target is a middle class white lady. They’ll say anything that they can to get me to vote for them.

“I’m not going to die, but I’m going to win”: Former South Carolina gov. Danielle Harper at the Las Vegas rally
“I’m coming out of the grocery store pissed. “I promise you, I’m not happy about that grocery bill,” saidHarper, who previously owned a medical spa. The price of a pack of chicken is out of line. This is America. This is crazy.”
DanielleHarper says she’s already looking past the nominating contests to the November election, on a rainy day in Henderson.
While many people are waiting for Trump and Haley to fight in South Carolina, the former president is now focused on his next opponent: President Biden.
“We do not have a lot of competition but we are going to win the election,” Trump said at the Las Vegas rally. “We want to get a great, beautiful mandate. We are going to win the swing state of Nevada in November.
Assured a victory, Trump is looking ahead and testing out some general-election material for a crucial audience in one of the most pivotal states in the 2024 race.
The former South Carolina Gov. did not even bother to register to vote in the Republican primary election on Tuesday.
HENDERSON, Nev. — Former President Donald Trump is expected to return to Nevada for Thursday’s caucuses where he is virtually guaranteed to sweep the state’s 26 delegates.
Beyond the primary, Nevada Democrats have to turn policy playbook into actual votes: What will we learn from the failure of the 2020 Nevada Biden primary?
These projects are by design slow to start. By the time voters cast their ballots in November, it will have been two years since Biden signed the big packages into law. Voters feel that lag on the ground.
It’s rent for seniors. It’s ridiculous all over the place. Who wants to pay $2,000 for a one-bedroom apartment?” said Veronica Ybarra, a Las Vegas resident who voted for Biden last time. “I’ve always been Democrat. Right now, I don’t know if this is the year. The primary? Didn’t happen. I will be patient and see what happens. Something has to give, that’s the problem.
She is not alone. Quinton Timmons, who has lived in Vegas for about seven years, also voted for Biden in 2020. He is worried that there are not many job opportunities.
Timmons said that the student loan cancellation efforts were stalling and that this may be his first year not voting.
Nevada Democratic Leaders Have to Turn Policy Playbook into Actual Votes: How Las Vegas Breaks Ground for Bright Line Rail Connecting Las Vegas and Southern California
“It’s easy for us on paper to say ‘look at all this investment that’s coming to Nevada,’ but it’s hard for people to really grasp it until they start to see it,” Clark said. “We need to make sure that organizations like ours and Democrats are the ones who take credit where it’s due.”
Las Vegas will soon break ground on the long-anticipated Brightline rail project that will connect Vegas to southern California due to new federal funding.
“Our union members are starting to slowly get it. I think that to get them to understand the infrastructure piece, they get it for sure,” said Vince Saavedra, executive secretary treasurer at the Southern Nevada Building Trades union.
“I see the support being identical as the last of the election cycle was for him,” Saavedra said, referencing union support that helped Biden win in 2020. “He has the votes and probably gained two or three more.”
The tax breaks are part of the inflation Reduction Act to help homeowners save money on utility costs. Many people in the neighborhoods that are most effected by rising temperatures are renters and not owners according to Moore.
Moore said that people don’t know exactly what it is or does, because they don’t know what to think. “They don’t understand the benefits or what they mean for Nevada.”
There are Las Vegas neighborhoods that suffer the most from the increasingly hot temperatures and they have been talked to by Cinthia Moore. Through listening sessions, the group has spoken to more than 100 Vegas residents — almost all whom had never heard of Biden’s legislative packages.
Doñate, who serves in the state legislature, is a health care administrator. He said he tries to communicate how new prescription drug caps, from the Inflation Reduction Act, can help make medications for seniors more affordable. And in recent roundtables with small Latino-owned businesses, Donate said he informed owners of potential clean energy programs for the first time.
“Personal issues are the most frustrating for people,” said Doate, chair of the Nevada Latino Legislative Caucus. “It’s hard to be positive when you’re seeing increasing, rising rents and [issues] affording health care.”

Joe Biden and the State of the Art: Connecting Grassroots Women for Biden-Harris with Voters
On Tuesday, Biden won the state’s Democratic primary election easily, as expected. Despite not having a contest in the primary, Democrats began to engage with voters early and plan to use the data they have from the election to mobilize into November.
“I think we still have a lot to do when it comes to talking to voters, but we’re just getting started,” said Donna West, national mobilization director for Grassroots Women for Biden-Harris. “I’m looking forward to when we start knocking on doors, asking voters what’s keeping them up at night and then telling them what Joe Biden has done.”
Democrats are having a challenge with public relations due to how not every individual resident benefits from these dollars. The Oval Office is on the line. The swing state of Nevada went to Biden in 2020 with less than 3% of the vote.
Nevada is a state with a high rate of union participation. That, coupled with its economy’s dependence on tourism makes it ripe for the kinds of projects the federal government plans to invest in. The progressive group Climate Power estimates new clean energy projects have already spurred $12.19 billion in investment and created or moved forward 15,580 clean energy jobs, both among the highest in the nation.
