Vice President Kamala Harris was in town on Monday as she continues her campaign trail. The Vice President highlighted the impact of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a law signed by President Joe Biden in 2022 that led to a new rule announced by the Justice Department requiring anyone who sells guns to run federal background checks. This was Harris' fourth visit to the Las Vegas valley so far this year. UNLV professor and chair of the history department Dr. Michael Green also stopped by to talk more about her visit.

The Comprehensive Digestive Institute of Nevada’s location in the southeast Las Vegas Valley boasts nearly a dozen exam rooms, a collaborative office space for physicians, an open-concept nursing station and a slew of other amenities to benefit patients and providers alike.
