Another presidential candidate visits the Valley, eyes remain on economy

The state of the economy and inflation are top of mind for voters here in Nevada.

Many will be paying close attention to what Kamala Harris will be saying on Saturday.

I talked to locals about how important the topic is to them.

We stopped by Omelet House in Summerlin.

“Food prices have gone up dramatically over the past couple of years,” said owner Francesco Sessa.

He said they’ve adjusted to the changing economy.

“About six months ago was the last time we changed our prices,” Sessa said.

And inflation is on the mind of voters too.

Las week, Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance stopped in Las Vegas, and I spoke to voters there.

“I want him to address the economy.”

“I have a few important issues, the economy.”

“My second priority is the economy.”

Former President Donald Trump has talked about getting rid of the tax on tips. At Vance’s rally, signs were up with “No Tax on Tips,” but he didn’t mention it.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz will be making a visit to Las Vegas, and voters are curious about what she’ll say.
