Kamala Harris will hold rallies Oct. 31 in Reno and Las Vegas to encourage Nevada voters to go to the polls.

It will be the vice president’s first Northern Nevada visit since landing at the top of the Democratic ticket.

Her last trip was in April 2023 when she spoke with Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and actress Rosario Dawson about reproductive rights on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

Harris is locked in a tight race with Republican nominee Donald Trump. The two are tied at 48% each in the New York Times’ polling average for Nevada.

1. Isn't that a bit surprising to only go to Nevada 5 days before the election ?

[BumRushDaShow]

3. No because that is incorrect. Harris was there at the end of last month for a rally

Walz was there a few weeks ago (2nd trip) - https://www.kolotv.com/2024/10/09/walz-returns-northern-nevada-campaign-promised/

The FLOTUS was there a couple weeks ago - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=3320494

And Obama was just there a week ago - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143325347

But I think they are also looking at all paths to 270 and ranking them for "must win".



Current electors distribution for 2024 -



With the loss of an elector from both PA and MI after the 2020 census, and if you add to that a hypothetical loss of NV, that would still put Harris at 298, assuming the other Biden states remain (and no flip of NC).

5. Thanks, 👍 that makes sense

6. I have been trying to comb through dozens of news sites

each with dozens and dozens of links to get their appearances up somewhere in LBN!

Harris' schedule has been mind-numbing. I am guessing she is good at doing "power naps"!

7. I have no problem admitting that

I thought it was a massive mistake getting rid of Joe, but to be fair, Kamala has been utterly outstanding. She made a wonderful VP pick too and they haven't put a foot wrong. If results don't go their way, I can't think of one thing that people could stick on her or her campaign. The discipline and focus (and schedule !) has been everything one could wish for.

8. I am also glad that they have been able to raise enough money

to basically attempt to do Howard Dean's "50-state strategy" - at least at the state legislative level!

11. So glad to see this! Thank you!!!!

I am amazed at how competently her campaign has been run. She certainly has the best minds in the business behind her. I am both astonished and delighted.

12. why is that surprising?

She'll be campaigning in one or even multiple places every day up till then, in the areas her campaign believes it's to the most benefit.

Looks like she has stops in Phoenix and Philadelphia coming up.

2. Glad to see this

I was wondering when she was going to make a campaign appearance in Reno.

The Republican early voting turnout advantage in Nevada is pretty alarming.

I think Harris holding an event in northern Nevada will be helpful in encouraging more Democrats to get out and vote.

9. Jon Ralston is the go to person for NV voting. the article doesn't really address the nation wide trend of gqp

Voters now voting early. It’s nail biting, but most other experts just say it will mean fewer gqp votes on election day, so one doesn’t need as big of “firewall.”

10. I hope you're right

It’s just a little distressing because the turnout stats are so different from what we’ve seen in recent elections in Nevada. It’s usually the opposite.

Most Democratic and younger voters don’t normally wait until Election Day to cast their ballots.

4. And she'll be in Phoenix as well that day.
