LAS VEGAS (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told members of Nevada's most powerful political union that she had them in mind when she proposed a "Medicare for all" plan that preserves private insurance.
At a town hall Friday night for members of the casino workers' Culinary Union, Harris said she knows how hard they fought for years for robust health care plans that they don't want to give up.
The California senator pumped her fist and led members in chants of "We vote, we win" before describing her plans to use executive orders as president to extend protections for young immigrants in the country illegally and their families.
The 60,000-member Culinary Union Local 226 is a mobilizing powerhouse for Democrats and one of the most coveted endorsements in the early presidential nominating state.
