This was Vance's first trip to Nevada as the vice presidential nominee.

In his speech, he attacked Harris over immigration, blaming her for chaos at the southern border and crimes committed by people in the country without authorization. He also promised to resume construction on a border wall between the United States and Mexico.

Vance also blamed elected leaders in Washington for bipartisan trade agreements that cost American jobs and made things harder for workers.
