is going for the knockout punch with the help of some star power.Boxer Manny Pacquiao will join the senator for an early vote rally on Friday night at Orr Middle School in Las Vegas.
The location is the same place where Reid attended an event with President Barack Obama last week. Orr Middle School is close to Boulevard Mall, one location where residents can vote early through Saturday.According to the Clark County Election Department, more than 157,000 people have already voted in this year’s election.
Although he was born in the Philippines, Pacquiao is a worldwide celebrity who draws sellout crowds at his fights in southern Nevada.
He is the latest high-profile name on Reid’s list of endorsements. Heading into Election Day, Sen. Al Franken, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and First Lady Michelle Obama were scheduled to make appearances on behalf of the Senate majority leader.
Reid’s opponent, Sharron Angle, has also gotten a boost from recent visits from Newt Gingrich and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
