Former President Donald Trump’s team is strategically targeting Latino voters and rank-and-file union members in Nevada as they aim to secure a victory in the state. The Trump campaign has launched the “Latino Americans for Trump” coalition to enhance outreach to Hispanic voters in the lead-up to the election. Nevada, with its significant Latino electorate, has been identified as a crucial battleground state where winning over these voters could potentially tip the scales in Trump’s favor.
Despite Nevada consistently supporting Democratic presidential nominees in the past four elections, Joe Biden only carried the state by a narrow margin of 2 points in 2020. This close margin has motivated the Trump campaign to intensify its efforts to appeal to Latino voters and union members in Nevada.
In a strategic move, the campaign has made inroads with the Culinary Workers Union, a group that has historically aligned with Democrats and played a key role in get-out-the-vote initiatives led by late Nevada Sen. Harry Reid. While maintaining a distance from union leadership, campaign representatives have engaged in discussions and meetings with rank-and-file union members to sway their voting preferences.
As part of their outreach strategy, Trump’s campaign unveiled a new proposal during a rally in Las Vegas: the elimination of taxes on tips. This proposal is aimed at resonating with Nevada’s substantial service industry workforce, further demonstrating the campaign’s targeted approach to winning over key voter demographics in the state.
