The latest: The presidential campaign enters its final push on the eve of election day

The presidential campaign is coming down to a final push in a handful of states on the eve of Election Day.

Kamala Harris will spend all of Monday in Pennsylvania, whose 19 electoral votes offer the largest prize among the states expected to determine the Electoral College outcome. Donald Trump plans four rallies in three states, starting in Raleigh, North Carolina and stopping twice in Pennsylvania with events in Reading and Pittsburgh.

Star power will boost Harris’ final day of campaigning

The vice president will hold a rally in Allentown with rapper Fat Joe before visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant in Reading with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

He will also hold a nighttime rally in Pittsburgh with performances by DJ D-Nice, Katy Perry and Andra Day, before a rally at the Philadelphia Museum of the Arts’ “Rocky Steps,” which features a statue of the fictional boxer.

The final event includes comments from DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, Freeway and Just Blaze, as well as Lady Gaga, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ricky Martin, The Roots, Jazmine Sullivan and Adam Blackstone, and Oprah Winfrey.

Where will Trump be on the eve of Election Day?

Former President Donald Trump is closing out what he says will be his final day of campaigning for the White House with a packed schedule that includes four rallies in three battleground states.

He will begin Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina, underscoring the importance of a state he has visited for the past three days.

Then he heads to Pennsylvania (perhaps the biggest prize on the electoral map) to hold rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh.

You’ll end your night (and likely spend the early morning hours of Election Day) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That’s a campaign tradition for the former president, who also held last-day rallies there during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

Harris to focus on predominantly Puerto Rican areas as she campaigns in Pennsylvania

After a visit to Scranton, Harris will speak in Allentown, a majority-Hispanic city that is home to tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans, at an event with rapper Fat Joe, whose parents were of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent.

Pennsylvania is a swing state that could decide the election. But the stop also comes after a comedian at a recent Donald Trump rally suggested that Puerto Rico was “garbage.”

Later, Harris heads to Reading, where she plans to visit a Puerto Rican restaurant with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
