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.

What happened to Elon Musk’s town hall?

Teddy Schleifer of The New York Times explains what happened to Elon Musk’s digital town hall tonight.

1. The town hall opened with Elon saying he would take questions.

2. Four questions in a row, they were unable to connect the questioner with Elon. Dead air.

3. Elon says he would do a X Spaces instead of the town hall because of the technical issues.

4. Elon scratches that plan and tells everyone who wanted to talk to him to … just listen to his Rogan podcast instead.

Former leader of Britain’s Conservative Party denounces Trump

William Hague, the former leader of Britain’s Conservative Party, foreign secretary and protégé of Margaret Thatcher has denounced Donald Trump, saying “we should all be Democrats”.

He wrote in The Times:

It matters what we think about the election in America — to our own political ideas and to the security of our allies. We knew Reagan wasn’t following the details, but we also knew he was generous to opponents and steadfast for freedom. In words also applied to Franklin D Roosevelt, he was a “second-class intellect with a first-class temperament”. That would never be a description of Trump. He is a serious danger. If Reagan stood for “morning in America”, Trump is the approach of midnight. Whatever our past affiliations, we should all be Democrats.
