From Pennsylvania to Arizona: In the swing states, there is calm before the storm among voters

Nevada has attracted plenty of interest from neighboring California, where Democrats are all but certain to win.

Pro-Harris Californians were among 150 volunteers and staff at a promotional event in East Las Vegas late Monday.

“I had to be physically involved in the work, not just writing checks or arguing at the dinner table,” said Peter Brock of Fairfax, California.

He said he noticed there was a lot of election fatigue among the people he knocked on the doors of. Some residents told him that they had been visited more than once by customer surveyors from both parties.

Six electoral votes are at stake.

Located in the Sun Belt of the United States, Nevada is home to vast areas of desert and ranchland. It has voted for Democratic candidates in the last six presidential elections. But in 2020, Biden beat Trump by just 35,000 votes.

The economy has been a key issue for voters this year, who regularly cite inflation and housing affordability as concerns.

Trump's “no tax on tips” proposal has resonated with some voters. Harris has since expressed support for the idea, although she would like to see it paired with the first federal minimum wage increase since 2009.

Reproductive rights are also expected to motivate voters to go to the polls. In this election, Nevadans will decide on Question 6, which proposes making abortion access a right enshrined in the state constitution.
