LAS VEGAS — Former United States President Bill Clinton visited Las Vegas this week, rallying support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s “New Way Forward” plan.
His visit, which included making a plea to Filipino Americans, was aimed to encourage Nevadans to vote early.
During a stop on Tuesday, October 22 at Red Ribbon Bakeshop inside Seafood City Supermarket, a community hub for Filipino Americans, Clinton spoke alongside U.S. Representative Dina Titus.
He praised Harris’ comprehensive strategy to support Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) entrepreneurs, highlighting the small business boom under the Biden-Harris administration. Clinton underscored the critical role these businesses play in the economy, citing Harris’ commitment to bolstering their success.
“What I’m campaigning for is my grandchildren’s future,” said Clinton. “This country cannot thrive if we’re focused on division and blame instead of unity and solutions. Donald Trump offers no real answers — only finger-pointing. Kamala Harris is the only candidate with practical solutions for everything from the environment to education to helping families put food on the table.”
Clinton also made appearances at the Doolittle Community Center, an early voting site, with Senator Jacky Rosen, and at the Martin Luther King Jr. Senior Center in North Las Vegas. At these events, he emphasized the importance of voting early, encouraging attendees to mail in their ballots or vote in person. He warned that under Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, Social Security could run out in six years, a move that would devastate seniors. In contrast, he pointed to Harris’ commitment to strengthening Social Security and Medicare, vital programs for millions of Americans.
The former president’s message resonated with the audience, urging them to spread the word and encourage others to vote. He stressed that the future of the country depended on participation in the electoral process.
Other notable figures attending the Fil-Am community visit included Nevada State Senator Rochelle Nguyen, Assemblymembers Erica Mosca, Brittney Miller and Reuben D’Silva. Additionally, Fil-Am community leader Rozita Lee, former White House Commissioner under President Obama’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, was present.
As early voting continues, Clinton’s visit underscored the importance of the Harris-Walz vision, which aims to lower costs for families, make housing more affordable, and ensure a brighter future for all Americans.
