Kamala Harris and Donald Trump held rival rallies on Monday, the final day before the U.S. presidential election, with polls indicating a dead heat.
The two candidates presented starkly different visions for America’s future, with Harris promising a “fresh start” and Trump vowing to “fix every single problem” facing the country.
Harris rallied in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with singer Katy Perry, while Trump held events in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before concluding in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Harris noted her opposition to Trump-backed abortion bans and the need for change, saying, “America is ready for a fresh start. It’s time for a new generation of leadership.”
Trump, meanwhile, stuck to his darker rhetoric, describing Harris as “a disaster” and illegal immigrants as “savages” and “animals.”
His message resonated with some voters, including first-time voter Ethan Wells, who praised Trump’s stance on immigration.
The election has significant implications for global conflicts, climate change, and US democracy.
Early turnout has encouraged both sides, with over 82 million people casting ballots so far.
Celebrity endorsements, including Taylor Swift for Harris and Joe Rogan for Trump, aim to boost supporter turnout and sway undecided voters.
As the world watches anxiously, concerns about post-election unrest grow.
Trump’s history of refusing to accept defeat and his supporters’ past violence have led to businesses and office buildings being boarded up in Washington.
