Kamala Harris in front of an audience in Las Vegas: “When we fight, we win”

Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris held a rally in downtown Las Vegas on Sunday evening at the same location where her November opponent spoke two weeks earlier.

Harris couldn't resist heckling Republican candidate Donald Trump at a fundraiser in California earlier this weekend as her rallies continued to draw more people.

That appeared to be the case in Las Vegas — Nevada Democrats said there were 7,500 supporters in attendance Sunday. Trump drew 6,000 earlier this month.

Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., heated up the crowd by saying Trump's campaign visit brought with him the “crazy train” and the vice president “the American dream train – that everyone gets on.”

Harris used a 30-minute speech to detail her economic vision for growing the middle class, proudly saying, “I'm middle class and I'll never forget where I come from.”

In contrast, she said Trump has a “silver platter” background and yet has filed for bankruptcy multiple times.

Harris also had a sense of urgency for the next 37 days leading up to Election Day. She said the race with Trump will be “close until the end.”

“Folks, the election is here and we need to energize, organize and mobilize and remember that the vote is your vote. Your vote is your power,” Harris said. “Never let anyone take away your power.”

Harris urged attendees to show “one of the highest forms of patriotism” and make a plan to vote. She said every active registered voter will receive a mail-in ballot; Early voting begins October 19th.

“Do we believe in the promise of America?” Harris asked the cheering audience. “And are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win.”

She touched on several policy proposals, including eliminating “unnecessary graduation requirements” for federal jobs, providing a $50,000 tax deduction for starting small businesses and building 3 million homes in four years.

Harris also spoke about immigration and security at the United States' southern border – a key campaign platform for Trump.

He plans to use the National Guard to round up millions of undocumented residents, but has not said how he will find out who is here illegally. Its goal is to deport 15 to 20 million people, even though only 11 million migrants without permanent residency were living in the U.S. in 2022, according to the Associated Press.

Harris, speaking in Las Vegas, called for an easier path to citizenship and more resources for the Justice Department to prosecute transnational crime. The vice president added that Trump “preferred (his campaign) to work on a problem rather than solve it.”

“(Trump) has cruelly separated families and plans to do it again, and he continues to fan the flames of fear and division,” Harris said.

Harris also addressed gun violence – a topic Las Vegans are all too familiar with. Tuesday marks the seventh anniversary of the mass shooting on the Strip, which instantly killed 58 people and injured hundreds more. Some attendees at Harris' rally wore T-shirts that read “Vegas Strong,” paying tribute to the victims.

“After October 1, Nevada proved that smart gun safety laws are just common sense,” Harris said.

Jill Montgomery, a teacher and Las Vegas resident, was one of the attendees who showed support for the victims. She said the Oct. 1 shooting had an impact on her life, as several family members, friends and colleagues were present that day.

“I thought it was just a way to show that seven years later we're still going strong,” Montgomery said of her jersey.

U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., spoke to attendees about how gun violence has impacted his life. His father was killed in a shooting while working at a supermarket.

From his experience, he drew parallels to the many people across the country who “receive the tragic call that someone in their life has died due to senseless gun violence.”

Horsford said Harris has pushed for legislation that would require deeper background checks for gun purchases. She also led the White House's first Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

The rally also had members of the Laborers' International Union of North America sitting backstage in bright orange shirts.

For the next 38 days, Alexis Soderstrom and her colleagues will be campaigning from their local UFCW in Nevada and will not return to Northern California until the day after the election.

“We send people from all over the country to work because this is so important, this freedom,” Soderstrom said. “And it’s important for everyone.”

Since September 16, Soderstrom has been participating in the door-to-door campaign in Las Vegas, which is aimed at fellow union members and has so far reached around 28,000 people.

“The working class, they talk to us,” Soderstrom said. “They have no problem, even if there is a language barrier, they still talk to us. They want to hear. They want their voices to be heard for the first time.”

The Republican National Committee said in a statement that Nevadans are “increasingly fed up” with how Harris and the Democrats have handled issues such as the economy and the border.

“A stop in Nevada does not change the fact that Nevadans feel they are worse off today than they were four years ago,” wrote Halee Dobbins, communications director for RNC Nevada.
