In Reno, Walz touts home health care plan, Harris receives first Nevada tribe endorsement

Less than a month before the November election, Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) made the Harris campaign’s latest bid to turn out voters in the Silver State, highlighting a recently announced proposal to cover home care, vision and hearing under Medicare and receiving Nevada’s first tribal endorsement of the cycle.

In a nearly half-hour speech to an audience of about 2,000 people, Walz discussed housing, the economy and health care, touting the campaign’s plans for $25,000 down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, Medicare’s negotiation of prescription drug prices under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act and Vice President Kamala Harris’ Medicare announcement to help individuals caring for children and aging parents......

Ahead of Walz’s remarks at the rally, Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Chairman Steven Wadsworth announced his tribe's endorsement of Harris, saying the tribe is backing candidates who will protect its sacred society and vital funding. The tribe has approximately 3,000 members.

“[Harris and Walz] see us as valuable voices in this presidential election,” Wadsworth said. “Meanwhile, the opposing party calls us names, uses harmful rhetoric to degrade us.”
