LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — President Donald Trump spoke to supporters in Las Vegas on Wednesday afternoon, touting his tax policies as wins for voters in the Silver State who helped put him back in office in 2024.
The president addressed a crowd gathered at Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Summerlin, including Red Rock Resorts owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta. You can watch the full speech here:
Trump also stumped with Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, who is up for re-election in 2026.
The president's speech addressed a range of issues ranging from immigration to tax policy, to jobs and crime, health insurance and the cost of prescription drugs.
Trump also touted one of his political wins in the Silver State, the "No Tax on Tips" policy included in the "One, Big Beautiful Bill."
"This past filing season, 440,000 tipped workers right here in Nevada saved an average of $10,000 on their taxes," Trump said. "That's all because of the fact that I said I was going to do it, and I got it done. And the Democrats will terminate it if they ever take office."
Nevada Democrats would likely dispute that claim. Some of them even addressed the policy in statements issued ahead of the president's visit.
"As @POTUS comes to Las Vegas this week, let's remind him that his 'No Tax on Tips' policy is severely limited and sunsets in 2028," Rep. Dina Titus wrote on X. "I support legislation to make it permanent and introduced my LIFT Act to also increase the minimum wage, giving real relief to non-tipped workers like childcare, fast food, and retail."
Senior political reporter Steve Sebelius will report more on the president's visit and local reaction on Channel 13 at 5 and 6 p.m.
