LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – With less than two weeks until Election Day, voters are already starting to make their decisions.
That’s what brings former President Donald Trump to the Valley. Trump visited UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center to make his case to thousands of voters packed into the venue.
He talked about immigration, the economy, and his opponent, Kamala Harris, and he kicked things off with this question that got a huge response.
The former president asked the audience, “Are you better now than you were four years ago?”
A chorus of boos soon filled the stadium.
Donald Trump blamed Vice President Harris for inflation and attacked her for stealing the tip tax exemption plan.
But the plan didn’t receive the most praise in an informal poll that asked listeners whether Nevadans would prefer no taxes on tips and overtime pay, or prefer no taxes over Social Security benefits. . The last question drew the most applause, with President Trump responding, “Seniors always win.”
President Trump said thousands of people who attended the “Thomas & Mack for the United for Change” rally aimed at celebrating the Asian American and Pacific Islander community broke records. , President Trump hopes to win over another important voting bloc.
Trump spoke directly to them. “You are the greatest people. Hard-working people. It’s an honor to have you here.”
But Trump wasn’t the only big name on stage.
From former race car driver Danica Patrick to MMA fighter Jorge Masvidal to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who said the Silver State needs to keep up the momentum and vote.
“You’re at the heart of it. I truly believe that the outcome of this election depends on the state of Nevada,” Rubio said.
Trump supporter Danica Patrick echoed similar sentiments.
“We can’t just win this election. Let’s win more than anyone has ever done before,” Patrick said.
The former president recently announced he would return to the Vegas Valley with a rally in Henderson on Halloween.
