Another day, another huge crowd in a battleground state, this time in Las Vegas, Nevada:
There were 12,000-plus people inside the [University of Nevada] campus basketball arena on Saturday and, before the event started, local law enforcement halted entry to the event because people were becoming ill while waiting outside in 109-degree heat to go through security. About 4,000 people were in line when the entrances were closed.
[Gov. Tim] Walz referenced that during his speech, but turned it into an applause line by telling Nevada, “don’t worry, we’re going to be back a lot.” [snip]
The 60,000-strong Culinary Workers Union announced its endorsement of Harris. About 54% of the union’s members are Latino, 55% women and 60% immigrants. The union also issued a statement supporting Harris’ call for a higher minimum wage and to “ensure that there are no taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”...
With the Harris-Walz ticket, Nevada is trending back blue again:
A new poll of likely Nevada voters found Vice President Kamala Harris with a nearly 6 percentage point lead over former President Donald Trump — the largest lead for a Democrat in any presidential poll of Nevadans this cycle.
While Nevada polls have been relatively scarce since Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, the vice president appears to have closed the gap that existed between Trump and Biden, who had not led Trump in a single public poll taken in the state since October 2023... (our emphasis)
When we fight, we win (but never forget to vote!).

As it becomes more and more obvious this is going to be a blowout; the Republicans are going to get nastier, more vicious, and completely racist. They won't even talk about anything other than to smear and slander. The Corporate Media will dutifully broadcast this vile crap. But, the feeling is here that Trump/Vance are going to lose and may lose some states we don't expect them to lose. I think Walz a native son of Nebraska is going to make it interesting there and if the Harris/Walz campaign can do enough to tip Florida and North Carolina (unlikely... but...) this will be a historic victory and repudiation of the Republican agenda.
