The Democratic National Committee has launched an "informational campaign" that includes bilingual billboards across the city ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ Univision town hall in Las Vegas on Thursday night. The DNC first told NBC News that it has bought a full-page print ad in "El Mundo," widely read in southern Nevada. Digital homepage banners will also run in "El Mundo" and "El Sol," circulated in northern Nevada.

The campaign directs Latino voters and union members to check their registration status and look at options on how to cast their ballots through IWillVote.com and VoyAVotar.com. Latinos make up 20% of the electorate in the battleground state.

The campaign will also target union members by drawing a contrast between Harris and former President Donald Trump, who they say has weakened union workers’ power. The majority of U.S. labor unions have endorsed Harris though many union members support Trump. Union households are an important voter bloc in many swing states, including Nevada.

“Nevada’s Latino and union voters have the power to decide who wins the Silver State in November,” DNC spokesperson Marco Frieri said in a statement. “These blocs are vital communities that help keep Nevada’s economy moving forward every single day.”

1. DNC show a little love for us in Northern Nevada. Gotta be approximately 500,000 residents

up here and a large Latino population. Washoe County is critical for winning this state:

But the first lady’s efforts will now become more overtly political as she prepares to make the case for Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a fellow educator, in key swing states.

Jill Biden has long been a forceful critic of former President Donald Trump, painting him as a threat to issues like democracy and reproductive rights, one of the animating issues for her in this campaign

Her battleground tour from Friday to Tuesday coincides with fall break at the community college where she continues to teach. She will likely be on the campaign trail again in the final stretch of the election for get out the vote efforts, sources familiar with her plans said.

The first lady will start her upcoming campaign tour near the US-Mexico border in Yuma, Arizona, on Friday before campaigning in the Phoenix suburbs on Saturday. She’ll then speak to voters in Carson City and Reno, Nevada, on Sunday before heading out to the Detroit suburbs in Michigan and Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday.

16. It is going to take a lot

to counter the mendacious, vituperative bile on a lot of the stations out of Miami. Mostly tuned towards the US Cuban population. The lies are often so excessive and gratuitous that the listeners must be getting secondary gain from their enjoyment of the hate.

18. I was out and about yesterday (been a busier than normal week!) and saw a Spanish sign about voting Democrat.

Everywhere we went, loads of Harris/Walz signs, few for TFG, a handful of Mark Robinson, lots of Josh Stein, and a bunch for local races.

The other day, when I wasted the afternoon looking for my crazy sister, around the hospital there are a ton of signs that said North Carolina for Harris. I wanted to snatch one so bad...
