How to win Nevada

THE END of America’s election season always coincides with Halloween. That can make for some deeply weird campaigning. Democrats in Las Vegas, Nevada, staged a “Project 2025 haunted house” by decorating their offices with skeletons, tombstones—and a video of January 6th 2021. A huge, fuzzy stuffed spider hangs in a web in one corner. “Look what a mess Trump has made”, a poster in front of it reads, “in his web of LIES!” A cardboard cutout of Kamala Harris (wearing a cape) stands watch over the coffee bar, where exhausted campaign staffers nurse their 6pm brews.
