A day before Trump’s visit, members of the Culinary Union, one of the most powerful turnout machines in Democratic politics, focused on affordability as they knocked on doors for a state Senate race in a working-class area of east Las Vegas.
Culinary Union leadership has argued that Trump’s immigration and tariff policies have hamstrung Las Vegas’s economy.
The majority of people who answered the door Wednesday proactively brought up their anger toward Trump for his aggressive approach to immigration enforcement and how expensive life felt under his leadership.
