Trump, Harris Make Last Push as Campaigning Ends

Trump and Harris have delivered their closing arguments in Michigan and Pennsylvania respectively, a day before Election Day.

Trump held his rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he also closed his 2016 and 2020 campaigns. He predicted a large victory, following a tirade of false claims about widespread voter fraud.

The Republican nominee suggested that he survived an assassination attempt earlier this year because God had a plan to make him president again.

He once again made an effort to win over Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan dissatisfied with Harris’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

Harris was in Pennsylvania, a swing state crucial to Democrats, to address supporters at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

She outlined how she plans to “build an economy where we bring down the cost of living” and promised to make housing and childcare more affordable.

The Democratic nominee cautioned her supporters not to be complacent. “This could be one of the closest races in history – every single vote matters,” she said.

In her final campaign rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Harris says “every single vote matter”, while Trump pledges to lead the US to “new heights of glory” during his last pre-election address in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Polls continue to show Democrat Harris and Republican Trump neck-and-neck, nationally and in most swing states.

They spent the last days of their campaigns in battleground states, which polls show will be critical in deciding who wins the race.

The latest opinion polls suggest the two candidates are locked in a tight race. Harris is slightly ahead with 48.1 percent of the vote, according to FiveThirtyEight’s national poll tracker. Trump is not far behind, with 46.8.
