In a scorching hot Las Vegas, former President Donald Trump held a rally on Sunday, despite expected temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The Trump campaign provided additional emergency medical services, misting fans, and water bottles to attendees. Installation of cooling tents was also planned for the Nevada rally. This is Trump's third visit to the state this year and his second campaign event since being found guilty of 34 charges in New York's hush-money trial. The former president is focusing on Nevada, one of the top battleground states in November's election, as he hopes to sway working-class voters and Latinos in his favor. Recent polling has indicated a noticeable shift toward Trump among Hispanic voters in Nevada.
The rally coincides with the launch of a new 'Latino Americans for Trump' effort, as Republicans seek to capitalize on President Joe Biden's struggles with such voters. The Democratic National Committee plans to unveil a billboard ad close to Trump's rally, calling him a 'convicted white-collar crook.'
While in Nevada, Trump is also expected to address issues important to the state, such as rising temperatures and heat exhaustion. Despite these challenges, the campaign remains committed to providing a safe environment for supporters attending the rally.
