Former President Donald Trump made a bold claim during a rally in Las Vegas, stating that Nevada will vote Republican in the upcoming election. This would be a significant shift, as the state has not elected a Republican president since 2004.
Addressing a large and enthusiastic crowd at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, Trump urged his supporters to get out and vote. The rally, organized by Turning Point Action, featured a lineup of political figures and drew around 29,000 attendees, with more people waiting outside.
During his 90-minute speech, Trump touched on familiar campaign themes, such as tariffs, immigration, and attacks on his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. He reiterated his promises to crack down on crime, lower taxes, and bring back the American Dream.
One of the key highlights of the event was Trump’s confidence in turning Nevada red. He claimed to be leading by a significant margin in the state and expressed optimism about winning on election night. Surrogates also emphasized the importance of getting out the vote and convincing others to support Republicans.
The speeches at the rally centered around themes of faith, family, and freedom. Surrogates praised Trump and urged voters to support the Republican party. Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard spoke at the event, endorsing Trump for his commitment to peace and prosperity.
Supporters showed their enthusiasm for Trump hours before his speech, with vendors selling pro-Trump merchandise outside the venue. Attendees booed loudly at videos of Kamala Harris and expressed their support for the former president.
Overall, the rally in Las Vegas showcased Trump’s campaign promises and energized his supporters ahead of the election. The event marked one of several visits Trump plans to make to Southern Nevada leading up to election day.
