Former Pres. Donald Trump needs to discard his storied penchant for racist and sexist tropes and nicknames if he wants to win over independent voters in his likely race against Vice Pres. Kamala Harris, say political experts in Nevada, one of a handful of battleground states.

Kamala Harris is “breathing new life” into the presidential election, Las Vegas election experts said, and could help enhance voter participation with a younger generation that was disillusioned with what until this week had been shaping up as a race between the two oldest major-party candidates in American history.

Vice President Kamala Harris has made numerous visits to Nevada, especially here in Las Vegas. As Nevada is a crucial swing state, Vice President Harris' success here could significantly impact the outcome of the 2024 election.

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination Monday night, as delegates in California and other states backed her White House bid and party leaders and donors coalesced around her candidacy.

The words, handwritten on signs, flashed passing cars. “WASHOE COUNTY ELECTION FRAUD CENTRAL” “WE DEMAND HAND RECOUNT NOW!!” Some drivers honked while others flipped middle fingers at the more than two dozen protesters outside the Washoe County Administration Complex the morning of July 9. The protesters were calling on commissioners in Nevada’s second largest and only swing county to refuse to certify the results of a recount of the June primary.

The political fallout continues Thursday following Joe Biden's COVID diagnosis which has led to more calls for him to step aside as the Democratic nominee for president.

For many U.S. states that consistently vote red or blue in presidential elections, the outcome is no surprise. But for some states, the electoral votes remain very much up for grabs.
