Vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance campaigning in Las Vegas this week

Republican Vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance will return to campaign in Las Vegas this week as the campaign for the Nov. 5 election enters the final stages.

Wednesday’s stop will come a day before former President Donald Trump is expected to rally supporters at the Thomas & Mack Center, the Trump-Vance campaign announced Saturday.

Ohio Sen. Vance is set to deliver remarks at Treasure Island about housing and the economy, organizers said.

“Nevada voters know only a return to President Trump’s successful economic policies will restore the American Dream, defeat inflation, bring down mortgage rates, and make purchasing a home more affordable,” the campaign wrote in a statement. “In November, Nevada voters will flock to the ballot box in support of President Trump and his vision to Make America Affordable Again.”

Early, in-person voting kicked off Saturday in Nevada, which is widely considered a swing state with the potential to swing the election.
