Nevada also has one of the country's highest inflation rates — and residents have repeatedly told ReporterCruz they are feeling the impact.
Abby Cruz interviewing Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak at Souls at the polls"Power Trip" follows 7 young reporters as they chase down candidates in the lead up to the midterms with George Stephanopoulos guiding them along the way.The sound of slot machines instantly rings as soon as you step foot in Harry Reid International Airport. Wild cherry, 777, and jackpot symbols are scattered everywhere you turn in Las Vegas.
When I asked Democratic Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak how he would fix inflation if he was re-elected, he told me that a governor does not have a lot of influence when it comes to this issue.He said inflation is a national issue but also argued President Joe Biden was not to blame for the rise in prices across the country. Sisolak said the president doesn’t have much say in the price of gasoline, groceries and other household items.
I then met Adolof Camacho, who is not only a first-time voter but also the first person in his family to vote. He told me inflation was his top issue, especially with the prices of groceries and rent rising. Camacho was next to his mother, an immigrant from Mexico, who began to cry when speaking about her son voting. She told me she could not vote, so her son was not only casting the ballot for him but on his family's behalf.
And it's not just voters saying inflation is driving many of their decisions, it's their actions too.& Silver Pawn Shop CFO Andy Zimmerman, the store from the hit show "Pawn Stars," told me he's seen customers' habits change as prices went up.
