US Election: It’s D-Day As Trump, Harris Head For Final Rallies

After closely fought campaigns, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are holding their final rallies to win over voters ahead of today’s presidential election.

The Republican candidate, 78, began his last day of electioneering on Monday with an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, in which he described the campaign’s conclusion as the “end of a journey”.

However, Mr Trump added a new one would soon begin “where we make America great again”.

The former president continued to take a swipe at his 60-year-old rival Ms Harris, claiming she would “open the borders” if she became president.

Mr Trump also claimed he had been campaigning for 62 days in a row, adding: “I could be at the most beautiful beaches in the world right now, but I’m here because I’d rather be with you people.”

He also praised key backer and businessman Elon Musk, who has thrown his support behind Mr Trump on the campaign trail, describing him as an “amazing guy”.

Meanwhile, the vice president is spending all of Monday in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state that is expected to play a big part in the outcome of Tuesday’s contest.

Speaking in Scranton, Ms Harris shied away from mentioning her rival’s name, preferring instead to focus on her own campaign.

She urged her supporters to “enjoy this moment” and to knock on neighbours’ doors, “even if you’ve not met them”, to encourage them to vote.

“I thank you all for the time that you’ve taken out of your busy lives,” Ms Harris added.

Her rally later in Philadelphia is expected to include appearances from the likes of Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.
