Donald Trump sticks to his favorite jabs at rally in Las Vegas - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : A survey conducted last month by The New York Times and Siena College found Trump up 48% to 47% over Harris.
47% : At an event Thursday in Arizona, Trump pledged to eliminate taxes on overtime pay, part of an effort to win the support of working- and middle-class voters.
44% : At one point in his rally in Las Vegas, Trump falsely claimed that Harris wanted to bring back the military draft -- a position she has not taken -- and to go to war with Russia, part of an effort to style himself as a foreign policy expert who could end the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip with a phone call.
42% : Nevada has the highest concentration of tipped workers, and Trump has proposed ending federal income taxes on tipped wages.
40% : Trump said Harris supported states' taking minors from their parents to perform gender-affirming surgeries on them.
37% : Trump lost Nevada, a critical battleground state, in 2016 and 2020, and he has announced policies that would benefit the state.
34% : Yet Trump also vowed aggressive action within the country's borders as he insisted that the United States was "under invasion" by migrants whom he likened to "an army, except in many ways, it's more difficult because they don't wear a uniform."
32% : Trump insulted his Democratic opponents, calling Harris "Kambabla," a mispronunciation of her given name, and he called her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, "the vice president," as he did in a speech Thursday.
27% : And Trump once again insisted that Democrat-led states allow babies to be executed after birth.
24% : And even as Trump continued to insist that he had been victorious in the debate -- though some of his allies have acknowledged he had a rough outing -- he accused Harris of wearing an earpiece in their matchup, a baseless claim that has proliferated on right-wing social media.
24% : "What, is she going to say now 'no tax on overtime,' too?" said Lee Ward, a Las Vegas rallygoer from New York City, mocking the fact that Harris announced support for cutting taxes on tips after Trump had.
23% : Many recent polls have shown Trump and Harris in a tight race in Nevada, with Democrats gaining ground since Biden exited the race and Harris became her party's nominee.
