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.
