Both Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump are set to campaign in the key swing state of Pennsylvania on the final day before the election on November 5.
The state, with 19 electoral votes, is the biggest prize of the race. Either Trump or Harris will need at least 270 electoral votes to become the next US president.
Earlier, Vice President Kamala Harris has said she will “do everything in my power” to end the war in Gaza in a campaign event for Arab Americans in Michigan.
In other news, the campaign of former President Donald Trump scrambled to walk back comments he made about would-be assassins having to “shoot the fake news media.”
What to expect Monday: Pennsylvania push
Both candidates will visit Pennsylvania, the state now considered to be key to winning the election due to its number of electoral votes and polls that show Harris and Trump in a statistical dead heat.
Trump is expected to start Monday in North Carolina, before heading to the cities of Reading and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. At the end of the day, he will hold a rally in the battleground state of Michigan.
Harris, meanwhile, will visit Pittsburgh and hold a rally in Philadelphia. The event in Philadelphia on election eve will feature celebrity guests Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.
The Harris campaign on Monday evening will hold a national livestream show which will showcase “get out the vote” events all seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
The FBI has issued a warning about an uptick in deepfake videos of the candidates ahead of voting, some of which have been traced back to Russia-based operations.
Monday also marks the final day of early voting, with some 75 million Americans having already cast their ballot.
