Trump to visit Las Vegas next week, tout tax policies
President Donald Trump will return to Las Vegas on Wednesday, although his exact schedule and the location of his public appearances hasn't yet been disclosed.
While visiting Nevada, he will speak about how his tax policies have benefited Nevadans, White House spokesperson Liz Huston told The Nevada Independent in a text.
"By passing no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and no tax on overtime, President Trump and Republicans guaranteed Americans receive bigger paychecks and keep more of their hard-earned money," she wrote. "The President will remind Nevadans that every single Democrat opposed these commonsense reforms and fought to massively raise taxes on working families."
The Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first to report on the visit.
It's Trump's second trip to the state this year, after an April stop in which he also touted Republican tax cuts.
Video game composer Marty O'Donnell, the Republican nominee in the state's most competitive congressional district, expects to attend the speech, per his campaign. Spokespeople for the other GOP congressional candidates, and for Gov. Joe Lombardo (R), did not immediately respond on the record to inquiries about plans to meet with the president.
