With 69 days until Election Day, Trump holds a slim 1.4-percentage-point \u200blead over \u2063Harris in the state, according to recent\u200d polls. During \u200da campaign event in Las Vegas, Trump told supporters, &#8220;I don\u2019t know how we can lose it,&#8221; \u200basserting\u2063 that winning\u200d Nevada could secure his second term.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has a robust campaign infrastructure, inherited\u2064 from President Joe Biden&#8217;s team, with 14 offices and over 100 full-time employees in\u200c the state. \u2063In \u2064contrast, Trump&#8217;s campaign has only\u2063 24 staffers \u2064and 16\u2064 events planned for\u2064 the upcoming week, significantly fewer \u2064than during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pro-abortion-group-emilys-list-threatens-to-pull-endorsement-of-sinema-if-she-keeps-supporting-filibuster\/\" title=\"Pro-Abortion Group EMILY\u2019s List Threatens To Pull Endorsement Of Sinema If She Keeps Supporting Filibuster\">previous election cycle<\/a>. However, both candidates are\u200b engaged in a competitive\u2063 advertising battle, with Trump&#8217;s allies spending $9.7 million on ads\u2064 in the last month \u2063and Democratic groups spending $10.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also aimed at attracting Latino \u200dvoters, who represent a significant portion of Nevada&#8217;s population. \u2063His recent campaign events have included policy discussions that he\u2062 claims Harris is mimicking, such as his &#8220;No tax on tips&#8221; initiative. Despite \u2062facing challenges, Trump&#8217;s multiple appearances in \u2062Nevada \u200bdemonstrate his\u2064 commitment to winning the state as part of his electoral strategy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump dismisses Harris&rsquo;s edge in Nevada: &lsquo;I don&rsquo;t know how we can lose it&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1735563\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> isn&rsquo;t sweating Vice President Kamala Harris&rsquo;s strong campaign action in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nevada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Nevada<\/a> as the clock ticks down to Election Day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>With just 69 days until Nov. 5, Trump retains a slim lead over Harris in the swing state as she tightens the presidential race in national polls.

Meanwhile, she&rsquo;s been buoyed by Democratic enthusiasm for a candidate without the last name Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&rsquo;s campaign has 14 election offices across the state and more than 100 full-time employees, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/thenevadaindependent.com\/article\/as-race-narrows-trump-campaign-ramps-up-in-nevada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>analysis<\/a> by the <em>Nevada Independent<\/em>. In addition, it held 377 events in a roughly one-week sprint earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, the Trump campaign has only 16 events scheduled in the next week. It is also running a much leaner ground campaign, with just 24 staffers and five offices. It has even fewer offices than it did four years ago when he narrowly lost the state during the 2020 election. <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpforce47.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Trump Force 47<\/a>, a program partnering with the Republican National Committee to recruit volunteers that launched in late May, appears to be the GOP&rsquo;s focal point in the state to hand the former president a second term.&nbsp;However, the Trump campaign is employing organizations such as Turning Point USA to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3123854\/wake-up-washington-examiner-trump-approach-swing-states-news-candidates-can-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>boost<\/a> its ground game.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is giving Harris a tighter battle for her money over campaign advertising. In the past month, Trump allies have spent $9.7 million on ads airing in Nevada, while pro-Democratic groups have spent $10.2 million. However, even in advertising, the Democratic Party appears to hold the edge over strategy, taking steps to secure $14 million in ads in the three months leading up to November.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Trump has put in multiple appearances in the battleground state over the course of the year. Campaign events in January, February, and June came before his latest pitch to Latino voters last week. <\/p>\n<p>The former president held a &ldquo;No tax on tips&rdquo; campaign event on Friday at Il Toro E La Capra, a Mexican-Italian restaurant nestled in the state&rsquo;s largest city. Speaking next to a campaign sign highlighting the tax slogan in Spanish, Trump rallied supporters as Hispanic voters wield growing power in Nevada. With Latinos now accounting for nearly 30% of the state&rsquo;s population, both campaigns are vying for their support.<\/p>\n<p>Wading into the kitchen to greet workers, Trump&rsquo;s visit to the Las Vegas restaurant came after he criticized the Harris campaign for copying his &ldquo;No tax on tips&rdquo; agenda earlier this month. The former president announced the policy at a Nevada rally in June, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carson-points-out-that-every-democratic-plan-has-backfired-in-trumps-favor-as-seen-in-the-bible-2\/\" title=\"Carson points out that every Democratic plan has backfired in Trump&#039;s favor, as seen in the Bible\">vice president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s campaign followed suit with support for the measure weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>Trump isn&rsquo;t the only Republican battling for a win in the Silver State. Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jacky-rosen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jacky Rosen<\/a> (D-NV) is fending off a challenge from Republican Sam Brown in one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country.

With only 69 days remaining until November 5, Trump holds a narrow lead over Harris in this key state, even as she narrows the presidential race nationally. According to the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, Trump has a 1.4-percentage-point advantage over his rival in Nevada. At a Friday event in Las Vegas, he expressed confidence about securing victory in this battleground state, which he believes is crucial for his potential second term. &#8220;I don\u2019t know how we can lose it,&#8221; he told supporters. &#8220;If we win this state, we win everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite Trump&#8217;s optimism, Harris&#8217;s campaign has established a strong presence in Nevada following President Joe Biden\u2019s withdrawal from the reelection race. She benefits from Democratic enthusiasm for her candidacy and has set up 14 election offices across the state with over 100 full-time staff members, according to an analysis by the Nevada Independent. Earlier this month alone, her campaign organized 377 events within about a week. In contrast, Trump&#8217;s campaign has only planned 16 events for the upcoming week and operates with just 24 staffers and five offices\u2014fewer than during his previous run when he narrowly lost Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>To bolster support for his second term bid, Trump&#8217;s team launched &#8220;Trump Force 47&#8221; with the Republican National Committee to recruit volunteers earlier this year; however, they are also collaborating with organizations like Turning Point USA to enhance their ground efforts.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of advertising spending in Nevada over the past month, Trump&#8217;s allies have invested $9.7 million compared to $10.2 million from pro-Democratic groups; nevertheless, Democrats seem to have an edge overall by securing $14 million for ads leading up to November.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the year leading up to Election Day, Trump has made several appearances in Nevada including recent outreach aimed at Latino voters during an event at Il Toro E La Capra restaurant where he promoted his \u201cNo tax on tips\u201d initiative\u2014a policy that Harris\u2019s campaign later adopted after initially being announced by him at a rally back in June.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally involved is Sen.
