Trump to headline event targeting Asian American voters in Nevada
As part of his efforts leading up to Election Day, on Thursday former President Donald Trump will be addressing the AAPI community at a Nevada event with Vivek Ramaswami and Tulsi Gabbard
As part of his efforts leading up to Election Day, former President Donald Trump will address the Asian American and Pacific Islander community at a rally in Nevada on Thursday.
Trump will take the stage in Las Vegas alongside former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii in one of his first events geared toward Asian American communities. The Unite for Change rally, organized by the conservative political action committee Turning Point USA, will feature musical performances and speeches, culminating in a keynote speech from Trump.
Organizers say they aim to bring Asian voters into the conservative movement and convince them Trump is the best choice for them.
“These are voters whose values closely align with the conservative platform but have been given too little attention by our movement,” Turning Point founder and president Charlie Kirk said in a news release. “Just as we’re seeing huge shifts with Hispanics and the black community, this is a group that is poised to resonate powerfully with President Trump’s message of economic empowerment, law-and-order, safe streets, and a return to orderly, sane immigration policies.”
Asian Americans are the fastest-growing demographic in Nevada and make up 12% of the state’s electorate — with Filipinos making up the largest subgroup. Exit polling after the 2020 election showed 58% of eligible voters in the community supported Joe Biden, while 40% supported Trump.
