On November 5, 2024, the United States will hold its election day, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris competing for the presidency, SAVANNAH NEWSNOW REPORTS.
Voting begins as early as 05:00 ET (10:00 GMT) in some states, with millions expected to cast their ballots.
Harris, the Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal, champions abortion rights and aims to reduce living costs for working families.
Trump, the Republican contender who faced two assassination attempts this year, promises to secure the border and introduce massive tax cuts. With over 81 million early votes, this election appears to be historically tight.
In his last campaign speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Trump was greeted with enthusiastic support from the audience.
“Doing four of these [rallies] in one day is a little difficult,” Trump said, but added the support he received at each rally has “made it all worth it”.
He went on to ask those in attendance if they’re better off now than they were four years ago, to which crowds at the rally respond with loud boos.
“My message to you, and to all Americans tonight, is very simple: we don’t have to live like this.”
On her part, Kamala Harris delivered her last speech of the campaign in Philadelphia.
She ended her weeks-long run of appearances by reflecting on a campaign she says “brought together people from all corners of the nation, and all walks of life”.
Harris went on: “Ours is not a fight against nothing, but for something… Tonight we finish as we started: with energy, optimism, joy.”
She made a familiar appeal to young and new voters, saying. “To you in particular I say I see your power and I am so proud of you.”
The vice-president knows she will need young voters to back her in big numbers if she is to win Tuesday’s election.
