Live | Presidential Election 2024: Trump and Harris wrap up campaigns in Michigan and Pennsylvania

With the campaigns coming to a close, we invite you to follow Election Day minute by minute via the following link.

Former President Donald Trump, who was delayed by two hours, wrapped up his campaign once again in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as he did in 2016 and 2020.

After an extensive day visiting North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and finally Michigan—all key swing states—Trump delivered what may be his last campaign rally: “This has been an incredible journey. It's very sad in a way. This is the last one. But here's the good news: All we were doing was putting us in a position to win... If we show up, they can't win.”

“A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper, your paychecks will be higher, your streets will be safer, your communities will be richer, and your future will be brighter than ever before. This will be the Golden Age of America,” he added, promising that his mission remains singular and unwavering: Make America Great Again.

The former president also recalled the moment of the first assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania: “Just a few months ago, in a beautiful field in Pennsylvania, an assassin tried to stop our great movement... But that brush with death did not stop us—it only made us more determined to finish the job that we had only just started!”

Vice President Kamala Harris capped off an intense day and campaign from the famous “Rocky” steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Pennsylvania, an iconic location to deliver a message in “defense of democracy.”

“Philadelphia, you ready to do this? Are we ready to vote? Are we ready to win?” Harris asked the crowd. “It’s good to be back in the city of brotherly love where the foundation of our democracy was forged. And here at these famous steps, a tribute to those who start as the underdog and climb to victory.”

The Democratic candidate was joined by notable artists and personalities, including Oprah Winfrey, who warned attendees that this could be the last democratic election in U.S. history.

In fact, Oprah stated that Americans might not “ever cast a ballot again” if Trump were to win—a rhetoric that Democrats have amplified in recent months of campaigning.

The Democratic candidate’s final rally before Election Day drew 30,000 people and featured a range of political leaders and artists. Among the politicians was Governor Josh Shapiro, who was once considered as a possible running mate for Harris, and several major performances, including appearances by The Roots and Ricky Martin.

Lady Gaga, who performed “God Bless America,” closed the event with a powerful rendition of “The Edge of Glory.”

Joe Rogan officially endorsed Donald Trump. Hours before the presidential election, the most-listened-to podcaster in the United States decided in favor of the Republican after interviewing Elon Musk for nearly three hours. They both analyzed the role of social media and discussed what is at stake in these elections.

The endorsement came as a surprise due to the fact that Rogan wasn't very involved in the past election, and when he did, it wasn't exactly in favor of Republicans.
​
​"The great and powerful Elon Musk. If it wasn't for him, we'd be screwed. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump that you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that is an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast," Rogan wrote on his X account. The post quickly went viral and received millions of views and hundreds of thousands of retweets.

On Monday, a Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas judge decided to allow the America PAC backed by Elon Musk to continue its $1 million-a-day sweepstakes through Nov. 5. Judge Angelo Foglietta did not offer immediate details on the reasons for his ruling.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who participated as an independent candidate in the presidential race, doubled down on his endorsement of former President Donald Trump in the campaign's final stretch. In a message broadcast on the X platform, Kennedy explicitly asked his supporters not to vote for him but to cast their vote for Trump...

In the final days of the 2024 presidential race, analysts have warned of possible polling flaws that could affect projections, due to recent changes in voter registration and a surge in early voting that could tip the scales toward former President Donald Trump in the next election...

Republican candidate Donald Trump insisted during a rally in Kinston, N.C., that immigrants who murder Americans should be given the death penalty. He maintained that he will ban sanctuary cities.

Donald Trump starred in his final campaign event in Georgia. A few days before the presidential election, the Republican candidate stopped in Macon and reminded those present of the results of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's tenure in the White House. He even brought on stage the mother of a young woman who was recently killed by an illegal immigrant in Georgia.

Both Trump and Harris are in the final stretch of the campaign, holding final events in battleground states. In the Republican's case, this was his last rally in Georgia, at least as a candidate, since he already announced it would be his last election, regardless of the outcome.

"I'd like to start by asking you a question - are you better off now than you were four years ago? With your vote on Tuesday, I will end inflation, stop the invasion of criminals coming into our country, and bring back the American dream," Trump began with a clear nod to Ronald Reagan for his line in the 1980 presidential debate against Jimmy Carter.

Kathy Hochul asserted that Republican voters in New York are "un-American." The Democratic governor made these statements in an interview with MSNBC and was harshly criticized by local Republican figures such as Lee Zeldin, Elise Stefanik and Rob Ortt, Senate minority leader in New York.

Hochul discussed the home stretch of the presidential election and Donald Trump's recent campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in the interview with MSNBC.

"If you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you’re voting for someone who supports Donald Trump, and you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about," the governor said in an interview with MSNBC.

As of the Sunday before Election Day, more than 75 million Americans had already cast their ballots, representing more than 48% of the total number of voters in the 2020 election, where 154.6 million people participated, according to a report by Axios. This significant number reflects a notable shift in voting habits, with more and more voters opting for early voting or by mail, cementing these methods as a new normal in the U.S. election process.

Just two days before the presidential election, both Democrats and Republicans are showing themselves to be both confident and optimistic. Both campaigns firmly believe in their chances of victory, although their strategies and speeches reflect radically different approaches to the electoral process.

With all eyes on the duel between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for the presidency, numerous key issues in the nation will be decided on Nov. 5. On the same ballot, citizens will have to elect the 435 legislators of the House of Representatives, as well as 34 senators and 11 governors. In addition, this is the time when numerous local and state propositions will be voted on, covering issues as diverse as abortion, marijuana legalization, flags and even regarding mountain lion, lynx and bobcat hunting.

With two days to go before the election, the most prestigious and accurate polls indicate that Donald Trump is the big favorite to return to the White House. According to a poll published by Atlas Intel on Saturday, Nov. 2, the former president is leading in the seven swing states, and in three of them, he is even above the margin of error. Moreover, according to news aggregator Real Clear Politics, the Republican is 0.3 points ahead nationally, when in 2020 Joe Biden led by 7.2 points and Hillary Clinton by 1.8 in 2016.

Republican registered voters continue to turn out massively to the polls and are on the verge of a technical tie with the Democrats, who traditionally dominate this stage. According to data from the Florida Election Laboratory, 75,093,872 million citizens had already cast their ballots by Nov. 2. From the figures provided by the states that indicate the party of early voters, 37.9% are Democrats and 36.3% Republicans. In 2020, 44.8% belonged to the Democratic Party versus 30.5% to the GOP.

With the election looming, and with polls narrowing her chances of winning every day, Kamala Harris made an unexpected move to try to turn the tide. The vice president's plane made an "unscheduled stop" to travel to the set of "Saturday Night Live" and be on the show. The move was criticized by Donald Trump and his team, who felt that the Democrat chose to "cosplay with her elitist friends" at a critical moment.

Donald Trump made a campaign stop in Virginia just days before the presidential election. Tens of thousands of people greeted him in Selma, where he was accompanied by Governor Glenn Youngkin and Hung Cao, Republican Senate candidate. Leaning mainly on the economy and the southern border, he took aim at the Biden-Harris administration.

While the polls are showing Kamala Harris ahead of Trump in Virginia, with Nate Silver projecting the Democrat with a 6-point lead, the Republican assured he can win in The Old Dominion State.

"I'm here today in this incredible commonwealth for one reason: Because I believe we can win Virginia. That would be incredible," Trump stated. 

Investment fund chiefs are redirecting capital to sectors such as defense, energy and cryptocurrencies, which could thrive under a Republican administration.

Republican candidate Donald Trump called for people to vote and predicted a landslide victory at the polls during a rally in Gastonia, N.C.

“This election is a choice between four more years of incompetence ... or the four greatest years of the history of our country,” he summed up to the applause and cheers of thousands of supporters. Trump was optimistic, assuring that he will win that state as well as the entire election.

He also lashed out at the administration again over the latest economic data, promised to fix the border and criticized progressive media for their coverage of the election.

The possible victory of Kamala Harris in next Tuesday's elections would be "the worst nightmare for Christians." The phrase comes from Donald Trump, but it perfectly reflects the feelings of the leaders who follow Jesus Christ, both Protestant and Evangelical and, especially Catholics, who condemn the Democratic candidate's record and radical ideology as far back as her days as a prosecutor in California.

Erie County, Pennsylvania, Judge David Ridge ruled Friday that voters who wanted to vote by mail will be able to do so in person before the election.

The decision, celebrated by both parties, comes after election officials were unable to verify whether at least 14,000 voters had properly received ballots to participate in the mail-in election.

Inhabitants of the swing county who now wish to cast their early vote in person must first cancel their absentee ballot applications.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, announced in recent hours that her office is investigating whether former President Donald Trump's comments about former Rep. Liz Cheney violated state law and constitute a "death threat."

The Democrats took some words from the Republican out of context, after he accused Cheney of being "a radical war hawk" from the comfort of Washington but lacking the "guts" needed to be on the front lines.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied Republicans' request to prevent officials in Pennsylvania from counting provisional ballots for voters whose vote-by-mail ballots were disregarded due to certain defects.

This decision follows a challenge by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which argued that the practice violated state law and could affect a significant number of voters in a crucial state for the presidential election.

Following a wave of criticism, billionaire Mark Cuban attempted to clarify his comments about "weak women" surrounding former President Trump in a post on X, where he argued that his words were taken out of context.

"I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart, strong and intelligent," Cuban explained. "I know he has worked with strong intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others."
