▼ + stars: | 2024-09-18 | by ( Kayla Tausche | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Vice President Kamala Harris called the rate cut “welcome news,” while former President Donald Trump suggested, without evidence, that the decision could be politically motivated. With less than 50 days until Election Day, another question has emerged: Will the rate cut matter to voters? In fact, they already have – mortgages are based on bond yields, which have fallen in recent weeks in anticipation of a rate cut. Harris responded to the rate cut by saying she’s focused on bringing down prices. This story has been updated with reaction to the Fed’s rate cut announcement.

Which is not true.”Las Vegas-based real estate agent Zoila Sanchez photographed outside of her home in Henderson, Nevada. Sanchez is confident, insisting the energy she sees for Harris outweighs the increased Trump talk among fellow Hispanics. “I feel the Democrats take the Hispanic vote for granted here in Vegas or in Nevada,” Cerros said. “She came up with immigrant parents, which to me, it’s amazing for someone like that to come up and be able to be president,” Munoz said. Nevada also elected a Republican governor in 2022, and Munoz believes that makes it more hospitable climate for Trump this year.

CNN —Joan London knew when Tuesday’s debate began she would not vote for Donald Trump. Until this week’s debate in Philadelphia, though, she planned to honor her conservative principles and write in some other Republican. Her decision to back Vice President Kamala Harris was the most significant shift in the reaction we received from this group of voters during the debate and in its immediate aftermath. “Trump came off as irrational and desperate.”Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during the presidential debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on September 10.

The biggest takeaway came from the reviews of voters like Lang: loyal Democrats who have raised important policy and performance issues about the president. On Thursday, these voters saw a president who was listening to their concerns, but they also said that steps in the right direction did not mean the problem was solved. In Biden’s speech, Lang saw some proof that his team is listening. She is more conservative than Biden but saw things to like in his speech, including his “commitment to democracy.”Two topics hit home. “Striking to hear President Biden call for free preschool, but not support the right of families like mine to use our own tax dollars for K-12 education,” Gurr said.

“It’s amazing the political power that Hispanics are creating here in the state of Nevada,” Munoz said during a break at his Vegas restaurant, 911 Taco Bar.
