[Craig Nigrelli]
BOTH VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ARE HEADING WEST ON THURSDAY TO CAMPAIGN IN TWO KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES. EACH HAS APPEARANCES SCHEDULED IN NEVADA, WHERE 6 ELECTORAL VOTES ARE AT-STAKE AND ARIZONA WHERE 11 ELECTORAL VOTES ARE IN PLAY.
HARRIS WILL APPEAR IN LAS VEGAS WITH POP STAR JENNIFER LOPEZ.. JOE BIDEN WON NEVADA IN 2020 BY ABOUT TWO-AND-A-HALF PERCENT, BUT REAL CLEAR POLITICS POLLING HAS TRUMP AHEAD BY A HALF PERCENTAGE POINT THIS TIME AROUND, MAKING THE RACE IN NEVADA ESSENTIALLY A DEAD HEAT. LATINOS MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY 20 % OF REGISTERED VOTERS STATEWIDE.
TRUMP WILL BE CAMPAIGNING IN HENDERSON, NEVADA JUST OUTSIDE LAS VEGAS. IN ADDITION, ABOUT 850,000 VOTERS, HAVE VOTED EARLY IN NEVADA. 39% PERCENT ARE REGISTERED REPUBLICANS, 35 PERCENT REGISTERED DEMOCRATS.
JOHN RALSTON, EDITOR OF THE NEVADA INDEPENDENT, TOLD NEWSWEEK QUOTE “ THANKS TO A RURAL TSUNAMI, THE GOP HAS MOVED OUT TO A SUBSTANTIAL BALLOT LEAD. “
LATER DONALD TRUMP WILL HEAD TO GLENDALE, ARIZONA FOR AN APPEARANCE WITH TELEVISION HOST TUCKER CARLSON. HARRIS WILL BE IN PHOENIX FOR RALLY, WITH MEXICAN BAND, Los Tigres del Norte. LATINOS MAKE UP 25% OF THE VOTE IN ARIZONA. JOE BIDEN WON THE STATE BY LESS THAN 11,000 VOTES.
NBC NEWS IS REPORTING 1.7 MILLION ARIZONANS HAVE VOTED EARLY, WITH 42 % REPUBLICAN AND 34% DEMOCRAT. THAT’S A BIG SWITCH FROM 2020, WHEN DEMOCRATS OUTNUMBERED REPUBLICANS BY CLOSE TO 10,000 IN EARLY VOTING.
POLLS SHOW DONALD TRUMP LEADING IN ARIZONA BY TWO-AND-A-HALF POINTS HEADING INTO ELECTION DAY, CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT A TOSS-UP STATE.
