Final campaign pitches by Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on the eve of the election.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump made their final pitches to voters Monday (November 4, 2024) in the same parts of Pennsylvania at roughly the same time, focusing on the state that could make or break their chances during the last full day of the presidential campaign.
In Pittsburgh, Mr. Trump delivered what his campaign aides described as his closing argument after his previous attempt – a mass rally at Madison Square Garden in New York – was derailed by crude and racist jokes. He has also veered off message with falsehoods about voter fraud and invocations of violence.
“Over the past four years, Americans have suffered one catastrophic failure, betrayal and humiliation after another,” said the Republican nominee, sounding raspy yet energetic after speaking for hours each day.
“We do not have to settle for weakness, incompetence, decline and decay,” he went on. “With your vote tomorrow, we can fix every single problem our country faces and lead America, and indeed the whole world, to new heights of glory.”
The crowd exploded in cheers when the Republican nominee said the country should tell Ms. Harris, “You’re fired,” his catchphrase from “The Apprentice,” the reality television show that made him a nationally recognised star.
Mr. Trump started Monday (November 4, 2024) in North Carolina, and he’s scheduled to hold his last rally of the election in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he concluded his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.
Ms. Harris, the Democratic nominee, is spending all of Monday (November 4, 2024) in Pennsylvania, and she was en route to Pittsburgh while Mr. Trump was speaking there. She’s holding her final rally in Philadelphia later in the evening.
