On Monday, November 4th, the eve of the US election day, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris utilized the final day to embark on intensive campaign schedules in crucial swing states. The contest has been described by both sides as a pivotal moment crucial for the survival of the United States.
According to various media reports, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Trump held four rallies in three battleground states on Monday: morning in Raleigh, North Carolina, afternoon in Reading and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and evening in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is set to return to Palm Beach, Florida to vote and await the election results.
Meanwhile, Vice President of the United States and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris spent the entire day on Monday in Pennsylvania for the final push. Her first stop was Scranton, then she visited Allentown, Reading, and Pittsburgh, culminating in a large rally in Philadelphia where American pop singer Lady Gaga and hip-hop band The Roots lead singer Black Thought attended in support.
Pennsylvania holds 19 out of the 270 electoral votes needed for a candidate to win the presidential election. It is widely considered the most crucial among the seven swing states, likely to determine the outcome of the election, thus becoming a battleground for Harris and Trump to vie for.
