With Trump trailing in a number of battleground states, his campaign sees Nevada as an opportunity to expand the electoral map in his quest for 270 electoral votes needed to win a second term.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump opened a three-day campaign swing through the West on Saturday by claiming Democrats are trying to steal the upcoming election and warning that Joe Biden is incapable of leading the country.
The rally was the first stop on a campaign trip that will take Trump to Nevada and Arizona as he looks for ways to expand the electoral map with the Nov. 3 election less than two months away. Officials at McCarran International Airport near Las Vegas said they never received a request for a Trump campaign event.
Nevada Democrats slammed Trump for going ahead with campaign events in the state and accused him of putting politics above public health.
