More than 244 million citizens are eligible to vote in the November 5 elections in the fifty American states. In 43 of them, the race is practically decided - according to polls, either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party has at least a 60% chance of claiming victory.

Nevada, famous for Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam, is one of seven states that will decide the 2024 US presidential election. Voting in swing states is hard to predict and can swing Republican or Democrat - that’s why you’re hearing so much about them as campaigning draws to a close. Here’s all you need to know.

Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) and former North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee have known each other for years. The two served together as Democrats in the state Senate, representing neighboring districts, for eight years. From 2009 to 2012, Horsford even served as Lee’s majority leader. Horsford went on to represent Nevada’s 4th Congressional District, anchored by North Las Vegas; Lee to serve as the majority-minority city’s mayor.

Much of the attention each presidential election cycle centers on swing states where the outcome can have an outsize impact on who wins the White House. But candidate campaigns and political analysts also zero in on smaller areas where factors like demographics and turnout can play critical roles in the race's ultimate outcome.

In general, the Latino community tends to vote Democratic, but it is not a monolithic bloc. And in these difficult economic times, more and more Latinos believe that the solution lies with Donald Trump, the Republican who managed to steal the Hispanic vote in 2020, when he narrowly lost Nevada.
