With polls showing a dead heat, Trump promised to lead the United States to “new heights of glory” while Harris said the “momentum is on our side,” as the rivals held their last rallies of the 2024 race in crucial battleground states.
The Democratic vice president finished on a high note in Philadelphia in the must-win state of Pennsylvania, with a rally on the steps immortalized by the boxing movie “Rocky.” “This could be one of the closest races in history — every single vote matters,” said Harris, who was joined by celebrities including Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.
Former president Trump brought several family members — with the conspicuous absence of his wife Melania — up on stage at his closing rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There, as in an earlier swing through North Carolina and Pennsylvania, his speech bristled with dark rhetoric. “With your vote tomorrow, we can fix every single problem our country faces and lead America — indeed, the world — to new heights of glory,” he told the crowd, as the clocks ticked over into Tuesday.
