Vice President Mike Pence holds rally in Boulder City

BOULDER CITY (KTNV) — The Republican faithful flocked to Boulder City Thursday morning, as Vice President Mike Pence touched down, looking to build some post-debate momentum for President Trump.

Supporters in red caps and Trump shirts, some with masks greeting Vice President Mike Pence. Thursday's rally was part of a tour of Western states to rally voters.

“I know Nevada is going to say yes to four more years of President Donald Trump in 2020,” he said.

The vice president touted the administration’s work on the economy, highlighting job creation and bringing work back to the nation. He also emphasized support for law enforcement.

“We will always back the blue. We’re not going to defund the police not now and not ever,” he said.

Supporters say they believe Trump stands for what’s important to them.

“Nevada is about our guns, about God, our country, our freedoms,” Maggie Mordaunt, a Trump supporter from Las Vegas, said.

State Democrats say the vice president and the rest of the Trump administration have to answer for their handling of the pandemic.

“They don’t have a plan to address the issues that we are facing here on the road with our small businesses and our front-line essential workers," said Democratic Party Chairman William McCurdy.

He also says Joe Biden has the answers the current administration does not, and urges voters to look past their attacks.

“They’re going to use tactics like diving and conquering like lying to us and the president as you know has lied time and time again,” McCurdy said.
