In the last hours before Election Day, when voters will either elect the first female president in US history or give the Republican Party an extraordinary comeback that is sure to rock the globe, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump conducted opposing rallies on Monday.
As they spent their final day of campaigning in the swing states that are too close to call and will tip the scales after polls close on Tuesday, the contenders presented radically different visions despite polls suggesting a dead race.
As the contest drew to a close, both competitors even staged boisterous events simultaneously in Pittsburgh, a crucial city in Pennsylvania, a battleground that must be won.
“Tomorrow is election day, and the momentum is on our side,” Harris said, just before singer Katy Perry took to the stage.
Republican former president Trump, who brought his family members up on stage in the city, stuck to his darker rhetoric, saying Harris was “a disaster.”
“We do not have to settle for weakness, incompetence, decline and decay. With your vote tomorrow we can fix every single problem our country faces,” he said.
Prior to his grand finale in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he concluded his campaigns in 2016 and 2020, Trump conducted rallies in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
In anticipation of a rally on the Philadelphia Museum of Art stairs, which were made famous in the film “Rocky,” Democratic Vice President Harris threw her weight behind Pennsylvania. Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey will be joining her.
