3:42Now PlayingA newly passed law in Los Angeles is set to raise the minimum wage for tourism workers from $21 to $30 per hour by the time of the 2028 Olympics. However, the legislation is currently on hold due to pressure from businesses advocating for a referendum to repeal it. Business owners in Los Angeles are already facing challenges from a struggling local economy and are concerned that the wage increase could result in widespread layoffs and business closures before the games begin. Nancy Loo joins "NewsNation Now" to discuss the Olympic wage campaign and its potential impacts.
