Former President Donald Trump is in Clark County, Nevada, to encourage early voting for Asian and Latino voters. NBC News' David Noriega reports on how the Trump campaign plans to reach key demographics.
At his first campaign rally targeting the Asian American and Pacific Islander community this election cycle, former President Donald Trump took the stage Thursday evening in Las Vegas with a speech focused on the economy, public safety and immigration to a group he says he believes he can make inroads with. Trump headlined the “Unite for Change” rally, which was organized by the conservative PAC “Turning Point USA” and also featured speeches by former Hawaii Rep.
“This particular rhetoric, which associates a racial group with a global pandemic, has particularly pernicious effects,” researcher Eli Michaels told NBC News in 2020. Trump took a moment to praise the Filipino community, saying he likes their clothes. “They had the most beautiful clothing, such bright colors,” he said. “I said ‘Where the hell do all these people come from?’ … You are the greatest people, hard-working people, and we’re going to take care of you.
