President Joe Biden is actively campaigning for his reelection in Western battleground states such as Nevada and Arizona. He aims to highlight his efforts to improve housing costs, create jobs in clean energy and manufacturing, and appeal to Latino communities, which play a significant role in these states. Despite winning both Nevada and Arizona in 2020, early polling suggests a challenging path to victory for Biden in these states in the upcoming election.
The Biden campaign is focusing on issues like reproductive rights, democracy, job creation, and protection for unions to sway moderate voters and counter the influence of former President Donald Trump. By addressing key concerns of diverse voters, including AAPI, Latino, Black, indigenous, young, and women voters, the campaign hopes to activate Biden’s 2020 coalition and mobilize new voters. In addition, Biden’s proposal for $258 billion in housing investments could help address the affordability crisis in states like Nevada, where housing remains out of reach for many residents.
