Democratic presidential candidates including Vice President Joe Biden and Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris are in Nevada to prove their pro-union credentials as they jockey for support from a powerful source of cash and manpower.
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg speaks to supporters during a rally in Las Vegas, NV, Friday, Aug. 2, 2019.
The event is a moment for the candidates to prove their pro-union credentials as they jockey for support from a powerful source of cash and manpower. Some Nevada Democrats hope to zero in on kitchen-table issues that matter in a state hit hard by the Great Recession. While candidates won’t get to make lengthy speeches at the union forum, many are packing in events around the Las Vegas area over the weekend in a nod to Nevada’s status as the third state where Democrats will vote in the primary, just after Iowa and New Hampshire and before South Carolina. Warren, speaking at a town hall Friday night in a high school gymnasium, said she’s expanding her footprint in Nevada and will soon have six campaign offices, more than any other candidate.
