Harris hopes to improve presidential odds in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Vice President Kamala Harris is working to make Nevada look like less of a political gamble in November’s election.

The Democratic presidential nominee visits the state on Saturday with her new running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

It’s the final stop of a battleground blitz in which Democratic voters are showing new energy after President Joe Biden exited the race and Harris replaced him at the top of the ticket.

That new enthusiasm has enabled the party to boost turnout efforts in swing states such as Nevada and Arizona, which Harris visited Friday.
