It's absolutely free, and it really helps us out. So, Vice President Kamala Harris needs to win battleground states in order to become president
0:34
So does Donald Trump. Battleground states are very important, and if you look at the polling
0:39
it will tell you that all these battleground states are really close. It's almost a tie
0:43
Some of them Kamala Harris is ahead. Some of them Trump is ahead. It's really close
0:49
But when you talk to the people that live in these battleground states
0:53
you find a different answer. If you saw a video on Fox News of a Fox News reporter going into these establishments and
1:00
asking, do you support Kamala Harris? And people said no. You'd say, well, Fox News is biased, right
1:07
But when CBS goes into these places, and they can barely find any Harris voters in the great state of Nevada
1:16
then Harris needs to pay attention to that and find out what's going on with her campaign
1:22
I want you to watch this video. CBS is absolutely astonished. What's on people's minds
2:00
Spanish settlers call this Nevada, meaning snowy, but down on the ground
2:05
the state is sizzling hot. Just like what's cooking in the smoker
2:11
It's the outdoor kitchen behind the award winning Brothers Barbecue in Reno
2:17
where the alluring smell of pulled pork pulls people in like these friends
2:22
Do you always get together and talk politics? We do. Yes. So it's our lucky day. We found the right table today
2:27
What issue is most important to you? I'm extremely concerned about the border
2:32
Illegals, they gotta go. People are coming here seeking asylum. Poloni, they're coming here for the freebies
2:39
When people talk about immigration, they're thinking we're saying we don't want immigrants of any kind
2:46
And that's not what people are saying. People are saying that there are people who have come here legally
2:52
Why do they get pushed aside to allow people who have not even worked one day in our country
2:58
have not paid into the system? I took my brisket and mac and cheese with me to catch Ken Lasker with a to go order
3:06
How closely are you watching this election? Oh, very closely. He was the only Harris supporter we met at lunch
3:12
even though Washoe County has historically been pretty politically split. We've had a democracy for 250 years
3:18
and I think that it's clearly being threatened now by Trump and the Republican Party
3:23
With bellies full of barbecue, my producer and I hopped on a plane to where two thirds of Nevadans live
3:29
Where are we going, Meryl? City Vegas, Las Vegas. Las Vegas in Clark County, home to casinos, Elvis impersonators
3:47
And a vibrant Latino community representing more than 20 percent of the state's electorate
3:54
A popular hangout is Viva Zapatas. Rosie Martins is originally from Mexico and appreciates the Moscow mule
4:01
Her husband, Gary, is from Portugal. The Republicans are concerned about the economy and the border
4:07
I want it to be secure. I want it to be something that the people will not be in danger
4:14
when they cross in their kids and their families. And to know who's crossing, too
4:17
If you're not following the rules, then you don't have nothing to do in this country
4:22
Above the smoke of sizzling fajitas, we met Harris supporter Joey Herbert
4:26
I've already taken the day off work. Who's making sure nothing gets in the way of his vote
4:31
When you're going to sleep at night, what's going through your head
4:35
For me, I think it's the economy. And that's what I really like about the current administration
4:39
is there's been nothing but job growth. This table disagrees. Food truck owner Francisco Mara says he's had to raise prices
4:47
The tacos used to be what, a dollar, a dollar fifty? After the pandemic, I mean, they don't go under $3.50 to $4, you know
4:54
Because like, because the meat's expensive. He's leaning toward Trump, but says both candidates talk a big game when courting Latinos
5:01
They try to win their votes, but do they really do everything they say
5:05
You feel like there are promises that aren't kept? Yeah, for sure. We turned in early, by Vegas standards, so we could rise with the sun
5:18
You can't tell the story of Nevada without getting out to the rural, rocky and very Republican rest of the state
5:24
So we're heading out to Nye County for some much needed coffee. Much needed
5:30
Which is served with a smile at our place off Highway 160
5:35
May I join you? Leanne and Stephen Schaefer were first to arrive and say they can't wait to vote
5:40
I want someone who's strong, who demands respect and who gets the respect
5:45
and who can deal with foreign leaders. I think Trump's the guy. There's so much going on throughout the world and this country as well
5:52
But do you remain hopeful about America? I tell you, I've never owned a gun in my life and I own four of them now. Really? Yes
6:02
I fear for our country. I'm of Asian descent, and this could be the possibility to have the first Asian
6:08
president in office. Neil Ratinovira plans to vote for the first time since 2008
6:14
I try to vote when somebody has the same kind of approach as me
6:19
So you didn't see that in Biden? No. You don't see that in Trump? Absolutely not
6:23
Is it Nevada or Nevada? Nevada. At the next table over, we met business owners in telecom, real estate and mortgage lending
6:31
Everything has gone up. Everybody feels it at the grocery store, at the gas pumps
6:36
And yes, I do contribute that to Biden. I think they just keep thinking that if they keep putting money towards something
6:43
it's going to fix the problem. It's the same as if you have an old house, you know, let's just keep fixing it and fixing it
6:48
Sometimes the solution is you got to tear it down and rebuild. And get a mortgage from you
6:54
Absolutely. We had so much fun
7:04
But what was really incredible is in every single restaurant of the people willing to
7:08
talk to us, we could only find one Harris supporter in every restaurant
7:12
And we left no stone unturned. I approached every single person, except for this one guy who I think had too many drinks
7:18
at the bar. But people are really excited about Trump. So, I mean
