House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries visited Las Vegas to express strong support for Rep. Steven Horsford's re-election campaign and to criticize the economic policies of President Trump. Speaking alongside Horsford and local labor leaders, Jeffries emphasized the Democratic Party's commitment to organized labor. He stated that House Democrats stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with unions and will prioritize pro-union legislation, including the PRO Act, to protect workers' rights to organize.
