President Barack Obama urged Nevadans to give Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a fifth term in a final-hour message to voters on Election Day.
He touted efforts to expand high-speed rail, solar energy, health care access and federal aid for college students in a brief interview with hip hop radio station Hot 97.5 KVEG in Las Vegas Tuesday.
"We have made progress all across the board but it is all at risk if people don't turn out to vote today," he said. "I'm sure the weather is always good in Las Vegas, so you have got no excuses."
Obama aimed to redirect the voter enthusiasm that defined his historic run for president to Reid's tight contest against Republican tea party favorite Sharron Angle. Polls show the race is too close to call.
"We know that if the people who voted in 2008 turn out to vote in 2010, Harry will win and if they don't turn out, he will lose," Obama said.
Obama also called on Latino voters to turn out in droves, stressing that the future of immigration reform rests in their hands.
"The Latino vote is crucial and obviously when you look at some of the stuff that has been going on during this election campaign that has tried to fan anti-immigrant sentiment, I know that a lot of Latinos, you know, feel under assault," he said.
Obama framed his first midterm elections as president as a crucial national moment.
"Just don't do it for me," he said. "Just don't do it because you think it is an obligation. Do it because it is important to you because you can shape your future and the country's future for years to come just by taking the time to go out and cast your ballot."
The radio interview was part of a national campaign to motivate urban voters. Obama also made calls to radio stations in Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla., with large African-American listenership.
As Obama was saying goodbye in Las Vegas, a radio personality asked whether first lady Michelle Obama calls him "Mr. President" in private.
"She calls me some names sometimes but it is not Mr. President," Obama said.
