Donald Trump delivered his closing message to voters on the eve of Election Day, promising to lead the United States into a new “golden age.” Speaking to supporters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Trump outlined his vision for America’s future.
In his final address of a 720-day-long campaign, Trump urged Americans to reject the current state of the country, citing “weakness, incompetence, decline, and decay.” He emphasized that, with voter support, every issue facing the nation could be resolved, setting the stage for America’s rise to “new heights of glory.”
Trump also reassured the world, stating that while some view the U.S. as isolationist, the country’s efforts to support global allies would continue. “We’ll help the world – a lot of people think we’re isolationists, we’re not – but we want the world to appreciate what we’re doing,” he said.
Key Campaign Promises
Among his promises, Trump vowed to:
- “End inflation”
- “Stop the invasion of criminals coming across our border”
- “Strengthen our military,” which he criticized the Biden administration for depleting.
“I will restore peace in the world and I will rescue the American dream,” Trump declared. “Together, we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country, and we will launch the most extraordinary economic boom the world has ever seen.”
Trump reinforced his vision, declaring that his leadership would usher in “the golden age of America.”
Contrasting Visions: Trump vs. Harris
Trump’s closing remarks also included a sharp contrast with Vice President Kamala Harris. “If you vote for Kamala [Harris], you will have four more years of misery, failure, and disaster,” Trump warned, adding that the country may never recover under her leadership.
On the other hand, he promised that voting for him would lead to rising wages, job creation, and opportunities for Americans of all backgrounds. “Vote for me and I will deliver rising wages, soaring incomes, and a colossal surge of jobs, wealth, and opportunity for Americans of every race, religion, color, and creed,” he asserted. “Your future will be brighter than ever before.”
Attacks on Kamala Harris
Trump didn’t hold back in his criticism of Harris, accusing her of mishandling the border crisis and betraying the American people. “Over the past four years, Kamala has orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon the people,” he said. “She has violated her oath, eradicated our sovereign borders, and unleashed an army of gangs and criminal migrants from prisons and jails.”
In a bold vow, Trump declared that “the day I take office, the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins.”
Final Day Campaign Endorsements
On the final day of his campaign, Trump received key endorsements, including from media personalities Megyn Kelly and Joe Rogan, as well as the son of legendary Pittsburgh Pirates player Roberto Clemente.
