Most rallygoers at the Sunday event did not wear masks. “If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression, instead of, we’re like a rocket ship, take a look at the numbers,” he said in an 80-minute speech.Ĭampaign and law enforcement officials estimated there were 13,000 people who turned out to the rally on a warm October day, which comes just a few weeks after Trump held similarly large rallies in Minden and in Henderson in violation of the state’s limits on public gatherings. The president cautioned that electing Biden would result in another lockdown that would further damage the economy in a state that already has the nation’s highest unemployment rate. Trump, against a backdrop of blue skies, brown mountains and vintage airplanes at the Carson City airport, painted a rosy picture of Nevada’s economic future post-COVID even as experts in the state have projected the travel-dependent economy will continue to operate at only partial capacity for the next few years.
President Donald Trump predicted that Nevada’s battered tourism industry would “come roaring back” under his leadership, warning that the lights of Las Vegas and Reno would be extinguished under a Joe Biden presidency and that Carson City, where he rallied supporters Sunday evening, would turn into a ghost town.
