Trump leads early voting in Nevada as election tightens to closest margin in two decades

Donald Trump leads in early voting in Nevada by just 44,000 votes, marking the closest election in the state in 20 years. Nevada is a key swing state, with recent elections showing decreasing margins for Democrats. Trump's campaign has focused on appealing to working-class voters, particularly in the hospitality sector. His "no taxes on tips" policy has gained traction, even receiving support from the Culinary Union, which represents many workers in Las Vegas. The political landscape in Nevada is shifting, with many new residents registering as independents. This change, along with economic pressures from the pandemic, has created opportunities for Trump to connect with traditionally Democratic voters.
