Your support makes all the difference.Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters on Monday, the last full day of campaigning before Election Day.
The vice president will be joined by celebrities Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and The Roots in Philadelphia this evening as Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera support her in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas.
Trump is also concentrating on the Keystone State, delivering his “closing message” at a rally in Pittsburgh before one final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan — where he closed out both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.
During a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina earlier on Monday, Trump appeared to reference the infamous Access Hollywood tape which was published late in the 2016 campaign in which he said he could grab women by their genitals because of his fame.
Giving what was billed as his “closing message” in Pittsburgh, the former president brought his family on stage; repeated his idea for a wrestling league for migrants; and called Rep Adam Schiff “scum”.
Trump also announced he had been endorsed by podcaster Joe Rogan and was joined on stage by Megyn Kelly.

Trump lambasts decades of Biden policy
Trump slammed decades of policy pushed by President Joe Biden, a longtime former senator.
“30 years ago, Biden wasn't any good,” Trump said in Reading, Pennsylvania. “He had the worst policy ever – if you would have taken Biden's policy views over a 40-year period and reversed them, you would have gone down as the single greatest policy expert foreign policy.”
Trump addresses Eric Adams indictment
Trump addressed the indictment of New York Mayor Eric Adams, saying that he was charged after making “nasty statements” about migrants entering the city.
“Mayor Adams, he made statements about ‘this is not sustainable ... You have to help us with this. Hundreds of thousands of people are piling into New York,’” Trump said on Monday afternoon. “‘You have to help us.’ And I said to my people, ‘he'll be indicted shortly. They indicted him.”
“One of the indictments, he was upgraded in an airliner. Everyone gets upgraded. Anybody who's got an upgrade, please raise your hand. You will be indicted,” the former president added. “I've been upgraded. I used to fly that way. They used to upgrade me all the time.”
Adams will stand trial in April 2025 on federal corruption charges after pleading not guilty to a five-count indictment accusing him of taking years of luxury travel gifts from Turkey.
Trump claims more than 200 million migrants to enter the US under Harris
Trump claimed that more than 200 million people would enter the US illegally during a Harris presidential term.
“She's incompetent. If she ever won, she would have open borders the following day after the election, and you wouldn't have 21 million people, which is a record in history, you would have 221 million people coming over the next four years,” the former president said. “You can forget about your country. You would have no chance.”
