On the eve of Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are racing through crucial battleground states in a final push to secure votes. Harris will spend Monday in Pennsylvania, rallying working-class voters from Allentown to Philadelphia, where she will end her night alongside celebrities Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey. Meanwhile, Trump plans four rallies across three states, including two stops in Pennsylvania and a midnight finale in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
With early voting reaching 77 million, both candidates are striving to turn out millions more. For Harris, victory would mark a historic first as both the first woman and person of color in the Oval Office, while a win for Trump would make him the first U.S. president to return after a non-consecutive term since Grover Cleveland.
Harris has focused on themes of unity and optimism, contrasting her approach to Trump’s promises to “fix” a country he claims Harris has “broken.” Both campaigns are counting on momentum in key states, particularly Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, which could ultimately decide the 2024 election.
