LOS ANGELES (AP) Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday night, as she and Republican Donald Trump continue to make frequent trips to Nevada, seeking to gain momentum in the swing state as the day approaches. of the elections.
The rally is part of Harris’ latest tour of the country’s west coast, which includes her first trip to the border between the United States and Mexico since she replaced President Joe Biden at the head of the Democratic presidential candidacy. On Friday, the vice president walked past an imposing rust-colored, barbed wire border wall in Douglas, Arizona, and met with federal authorities.
He attended a fundraiser in San Francisco on Saturday and was scheduled to speak at an event in Los Angeles on Sunday before heading to Nevada, with a return to Washington scheduled for Monday night.
“This race is as close as it gets,” he said Saturday before a crowd of donors. This is a margin of error contest.
Harris said that although there is enthusiasm, she is running as an underdog candidate. And I invited people to join our team in battleground states to help get voters to the polls, even if they’re Californians making calls from home.
On Sunday, former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake became the latest prominent Republican to endorse Harris and Walz. He attributed good character and love to the country and said he wants a president who does not treat political adversaries as enemies or try to subvert the will of voters.
Flake, a longtime critic of the previous president, joins a list of anti-Trump Republicans who have said they will vote for the Democratic candidate, not just that they will abstain from voting for Trump. Among them are Dick Cheney, the deeply conservative former vice president, and his daughter, Liz.
On Sunday, Maryland Senate candidate Larry Hogan, a former Republican governor and harsh Trump critic, said Harris has yet to earn his vote, even though Trump won’t.
In Nevada, all voters automatically receive mail-in ballots unless they opt out, a pandemic-era change that was laid out in state law. That means most ballots could start going out in a matter of weeks, well before Election Day on November 5.
