For millions of Americans, the housing crisis defines the U.S. economy. In the swing state of Nevada, it could soon define the election.
Jennifer Medina, who covers politics at The Times, and Carlos Prieto and Clare Toeniskoetter, who are producers on The Daily, traveled there to understand what happens when the promise of the American dream slips away.

“I’d like to vote for the green party” smh…
Wow, nice to hear a podcast from NUTimes that is neutral to Trump
“Hey, let’s elect again that guy that mismanaged the pandemic so bad that the effects of it are still present 4 years later. He’ll know what to do”
I am a Las Vegas resident and former democrat, who just wants to end the wars. Harris bragging about getting Cheney’s endorsement makes her repulsive to me. By the way, I make 150k a year and I didn’t graduate from college. I learned a skilled trade and I don’t have the debt. At this point it’s irresponsible to tell people that you have to go to college to achieve the American Dream.
Sounds like you voted left when you were poor and thought you could take advantage of social safety nets, then voted right as soon as you got money and realized you needed to pay into social safety nets. Typical selfish mentality that is all too common in this country
your bragging makes you repulsive to everyone who has worked their assess off for decades through jobs during college, and University, or skilled trade and *still* has found the “American Dream” to be a mirage
