As the 2024 Election Day looms, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are giving it all they’ve got to rally their respective supporters in Pennsylvania.
Trump’s Rally Pitches and Remarks
Trump begun his final day of campaigning in Pittsburgh before concluding his Keystone State-studded electioneering tour in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Additionally, he managed to squeeze in a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. Trump humorously made references to the infamous Access Hollywood tape, in which he claimed his fame permitted certain behaviors towards women.
Trump’s SpaceX related remarks in North Carolina sparked laughter, as he likened the rocket boosters’ mechanical arms to the way “you grab your beautiful baby.” The former president humorously suggested in times past, he might have been a bit more risqué in his comparisons.
Election Update: Florida’s Voter Turnout
In Florida, one day before election day, an estimated 50% of the registered voters had already cast their ballots. Only seven out of the 67 counties in the state witnessed a leading Democratic turnout during the early voting period and mail-in votes, despite these counties accounting for about 26% of all registered voters in Florida.
Harris’ Star-Studded Campaign and Momentum
In contrast, Vice President Harris’s campaign was anything but low-key, with none less than Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and The Roots supporting her in Philadelphia. Pop sensations Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera joined her in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas.
Despite a mid-campaign slump, Harris seems to have regained her momentum. Her campaign’s atmosphere starkly contrasts with that of her opponent, following some crucial missteps from the Trump camp, including a Madison Square Garden rally performance that included an offensive routine about Puerto Rico.
The Senate Race and GOP Hopes
In the meantime, control of the Senate appears to be slipping away from Republicans, with defeats in West Virginia and the trailing status of incumbent Montana Senator Jon Tester. Unless Democrats can unseat a Republican incumbent, the majority might swing into GOP hands.
Trump Reflects on Rallies
Trump took some time to reflect on his campaign rallies, calling them “flawless,” save for the occasional “aggressive statement.” He announced plans for future gatherings which wouldn’t be rallies, but a celebration of his accomplishments. Commending the success of his hundreds of rallies, especially his usage of teleprompters, he promised more to come.
In conclusion, with less than 24 hours till Election Day, candidates are making their final impassioned pleas to voters. Everything comes down to the voters’ decision for the next leader of America. The wait for the final results will undoubtedly be filled with anticipation and a subsequent flurry of analysis on the outcome.
