I’m glad to be in Las Vegas, where early voting started. I’m all in for Harris and Walz, and I hope you are too,” he said to a crowd of enthusiastic Filipino-Americans.</span></span></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2Jgoeyzes1k?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span data-teams="true"><span dir="ltr">One Filipina supporter was particularly moved by Clinton’s presence, recalling her long-time support for the Democratic Party. “You were my first president from 1992, and I campaigned for Hillary. Yes, and for President Biden, and now for Harris. She will be our next president,” she said, drawing a warm smile from Clinton.<br/><br/>Clinton also expressed confidence in Harris: “She’ll be a really good president. We got to help them, you got to win this state.”<br/><br/>Clinton’s visit was met with excitement from both shoppers and employees, with videos showing him taking selfies and chatting with the crowd at the Filipino fast food restaurant. He spent time engaging with the community, taking pictures with restaurant employees and supermarket shoppers alike.<br/><br/> With just weeks left before Election Day, Clinton’s presence in Las Vegas underscores the Democratic campaign’s efforts to secure key battleground states like Nevada, where early voting has already begun. Harris and Walz have been focusing on mobilizing minority communities, including Filipino-Americans, who make up a significant portion of the electorate in Nevada.</span></span></div><div><span data-teams="true"><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H19LRx2Cbvw?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></span></div>
