Washington, DC – Yesterday, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford sat down with CNN This Morning’s Kasie Hunt to discuss how Vice President Kamala Harris can win Nevada and the readiness of the state in defending election integrity. 

Key highlights:

• “Sure we are a purple state and you have to run purple, so you’d have to ensure that, as Kamala Harris has been doing, you pay attention to our state,” AG Ford said. “She’s been here more than a half a dozen times, she’s coming here on Sunday to continue talking to us and I think that again, that’s going to push this election into her.”

• “I think Kamala Harris is doing exactly what she needs to be doing and that’s talking about what she calls the opportunity economy,” AG Ford went on. “One that does more than just allow people to make it, it allows them to get ahead focusing on things like inflation that she’s talking about.”

• “Ensuring that price gouging is taken under control, ensuring that people are given $25,000 as first-time homebuyers, and talking about things that are important for everybody to move to the next level…is one of the most important things that she could be doing and that she is doing here in Las Vegas. That’s what’s going to help sway this election in her favor.”

• “My office in 2020 had to fend off and defend against bogus and half a dozen frivolous, meritless lawsuits that were filed against the state of Nevada, arguing that the integrity of our elections have been undermined…They [GOP] will continue to lose in court because my lawyers, again, understand the importance of what the law says. We understand the facts here on the ground. We have some of the freest, fairest, most open and secure elections in the nation…We worked very hard to ensure that people can trust and believe in the outcomes of this election.”
