Vice President Kamala Harris engaged in an emotional town hall with undecided Latino voters in Las Vegas, discussing key issues such as immigration, health care, abortion, and the economy. The town hall also marked the launch of the Harris campaign’s “Hombres con Harris” initiative to mobilize Latino men in battleground states. Harris expressed sympathy for a voter who shared a heartbreaking story about their mother’s death due to lack of legal status, highlighting the need for immigration reform.
Harris pledged to address the broken immigration system, promising to focus on creating an orderly and humane pathway to citizenship for hardworking individuals. She also reiterated her support for DACA and reproductive rights, highlighting her commitment to signing protections for Roe v. Wade into law if elected. Harris discussed her Medicare plan to strengthen coverage for seniors and her economic plan to provide tax relief for new parents, down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, and tax breaks for small businesses.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, who was set to appear in Aurora, Colorado, made false claims about the city being overrun by Venezuelan gangs and pledged to carry out mass deportations if re-elected. Trump is scheduled to hold rallies in other states over the weekend. The close race between Harris and Trump underscores the importance of engaging with Latino voters, a key demographic in the upcoming election.
