On the final day before the election, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump had packed itineraries with multiple rallies in key battleground states.

Trump began Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina, a state he won in 2016 and 2020. During a rally there, Trump predicted his own victory.

“They have an expression, I hate that expression, but ‘it’s our turn to lose,'” Trump said. “Does that make sense to you? ‘It’s ours to lose.’ If we get everyone out to vote, there won’t be anything they can do.”

Vice President Harris focused on Pennsylvania, with five stops across the state. In Scranton, Harris projected a more positive tone.

“We are leaders who understand that the measure of our strength is not who we tear down, but who we lift up,” Harris said.

Harris and Trump later held events in Reading and Allentown, followed by dueling rallies in Pittsburgh.

Harris closed the final day of the campaign with a rally in Philadelphia featuring Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga. Trump ended his race in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the same place where he held his final rallies in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
