Former President Donald Trump held a significant rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Sunset Park at noon, his first major campaign event following his recent conviction on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in a hush money case involving Stormy Daniels. Despite the nearly triple-digit heat, the event drew thousands of supporters, with some attendees being hospitalized for heat exhaustion. Trump used the rally to announce his proposal to eliminate federal income taxes on tips, aiming to appeal to hospitality workers and boost his support among working-class voters. He also launched a Latino outreach effort, known as Latino Americans for Trump, and criticized President Joe Biden's immigration policies, calling them 'bullshit.' The event was marked by high enthusiasm, with long lines forming early in the morning and a packed house by the time Trump took the stage.
