She wrapped up her day with a star-studded rally at the iconic “Rocky Steps” of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, famous for its depiction in the movie “Rocky.”
At his last campaign rally, Donald Trump rallied his supporters saying, “This journey has been remarkable, and while it’s bittersweet to close this chapter, here’s the best part: we’re positioned to win. If we show up tomorrow, victory is ours—they’re too far behind to catch us. Kamala held a rally with just over a hundred attendees, while we’re filling stadiums. Let’s finish strong—turn out, and we win.”

Election Day 2024 has officially begun as Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, casts the first ballots, upholding a 65-year-old tradition of midnight voting. This small town, which has only six registered voters, usually completes its entire voting process in less than a minute.
Historically, only two candidates have achieved the distinction of winning every vote in Dixville Notch: Richard Nixon in 1960 and Joe Biden in 2020. The midnight voting tradition started in 1936, originating from nearby Millsfield, and has become a beloved ritual that marks the start of Election Day.
“The race isn’t over yet, and we must finish strong,” Kamala Harris declared during a rally in Philadelphia. Emphasizing her role as a unifier, she stated, “I pledge to listen to people who disagree with me. I don’t believe that those who oppose me are the enemy. I will ensure they have a seat at the table.”
As she wrapped up her final rally of the evening, Harris urged her supporters to maintain a positive outlook: “Tonight, we finish as we started—with optimism, energy, and joy.” Notably, she refrained from naming her opponent during her speech.
Oprah Winfrey energized the crowd at Kamala Harris’ rally, emphasizing the importance of participating in the upcoming election. “We can’t afford to sit this one out,” she declared.
“If we don’t show up tomorrow, we may lose our chance to cast a ballot forever,” she warned, underscoring the gravity of the moment.
Winfrey reminded attendees of the values at stake: “We’re voting to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States,” she said. She highlighted the significance of integrity and the right to make choices about one’s own body.
“We’re voting to save ourselves from this dangerous precipice we now face,” she concluded, calling for unity and action among the audience. Winfrey also took the time to engage with first-time voters from Generation Z at the event in Philadelphia.
Lady Gaga delivered a powerful rendition of “God Bless America” at Kamala Harris’ rally in Philadelphia, energizing the crowd as they rallied support for the upcoming election.
The Trump campaign has postponed a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, due to the former president’s late arrival. Initially set for 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Trump’s appearance has been rescheduled to 12:30 a.m. ET, according to adviser Jason Miller’s update on X.
Supporters of Donald Trump in California are expressing anger as his name appears on the second screen of certain voting machines due to the state’s random ballot ordering system. Voters are required to click ‘more’ to view Trump’s name and select the Republican ticket, which includes Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate.
The order of candidates on California’s ballots is determined by a randomized alphabetical system, resulting in differing arrangements across various districts.
Many supporters are raising concerns that this setup could lead to voter confusion, prompting the circulation of posts on social media platforms like X and TikTok that offer guidance on locating Trump’s name.
Just hours before the U.S. presidential election, North Korea fired at least seven short-range ballistic missiles from its eastern coast, according to Japan’s defense minister.
Yang Moo-jin, president of the University of North Korean Studies, stated that the missile tests protest the joint military drills involving South Korea, the U.S., and Japan while also asserting North Korea’s presence ahead of the U.S. election. Notably, North Korea has not commented on the missile launches.

Maye Musk advocates for more women to occupy the presidency, emphasizing that it’s crucial for them to possess effective communication skills and coherent policies. She stated, “However, they need to be able to put a sentence together, or at least have a policy, or at least say something—just something that makes sense. Otherwise, it’s a complete embarrassment for us women.”
Former President Donald Trump took to TikTok to express his appreciation for Joe Rogan’s endorsement. He described it as a “great honor” and highlighted the significance of Rogan’s influence in the political landscape.

Donald Trump announced on Monday that he would impose tariffs on Mexico if the government fails to stop fentanyl trafficking into the United States. Speaking at a rally in Pittsburgh, he stated, “We will immediately stop the drugs pouring across our border.”
Trump proposed a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and said he would implement similar measures for China due to its role in fentanyl exports. “Every item they sell to the United States will incur a 25% tariff until they take serious measures to stop drugs from entering our country,” he asserted.
Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the iconic Pittsburgh Pirates player Roberto Clemente, has expressed his support for President Trump, stating:
“It is crucial for me to back this man… I believe in all that he represents and his potential to create positive change for our families.”
At a closing rally in Newtown, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, attributing the surge in living costs to her failures in office. He recounted a poignant story about a retiree who was forced to give up her cherished “steak night” tradition due to escalating grocery prices.

In her closing message, Kelly urged voters to not only support Trump but also to motivate ten friends to do the same, amplifying their impact at the polls.
Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, “We are losing 300,000 Americans each year due to drugs flooding across our border—not the 90,000 they suggest. A mere pinhead-sized amount of fentanyl is lethal.”
He added, “This crisis affects everyone; countless families are mourning the loss of children and parents to these dangerous substances.”
At a rally in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Trump fundraiser Jim Worthington rallied supporters with a clear message: “Tomorrow is a work day.” Emphasizing the significance of their votes, he stated, “The eyes of Pennsylvania and the country are focused on Bucks County. It’s a big responsibility.”
Worthington, a prominent fitness club owner, assured the crowd that winning Bucks County could help Trump secure Pennsylvania and the White House. Known for its competitive voting patterns, Bucks has seen mixed results in recent elections, with both major parties splitting wins across presidential races.

Musk, an outspoken Trump supporter, has shared at least 87 posts that fact-checkers have flagged as inaccurate. His election-related content has amassed over 17 billion views since endorsing Trump, surpassing viewership of all political ads on X this year.
Kamala Harris said, “For years as both a prosecutor and the chief law enforcement officer in our largest state, I fought battles against major banks that defrauded homeowners.
I challenged for-profit colleges that exploited veterans and students.
I took action against those who preyed on women, children, and the elderly, as well as against cartels involved in trafficking guns, drugs, and human lives.”
Trump’s campaign asserts that Democrats are experiencing a “massive turnout deficit,” according to early voting data, as per a newswire. In a private memo, Tim Saler, the campaign’s chief data consultant, indicated that there appears to be a drop in urban turnout among Democratic voters.

At a Trump rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made headlines by referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” German Vega, a Dominican American residing in Reading, Pennsylvania, who became a U.S. citizen in 2015, found the remarks shocking.
“It was outrageous,” said Vega, who noted that many people, including Republicans, were upset. “It was inappropriate, and I believe Trump should have apologized to the Latino community.”
Vega, who aligns with “pro-life” values, cast his vote for Trump in 2020 and intends to do so again. Although he couldn’t attend the Trump rally in Reading due to work obligations, his 18-year-old son, who remains undecided, planned to be present at the event in the predominantly Latino city.
The rally in New York also featured derogatory comments about Latinos, Jews, and Black people. Despite this, Vega viewed such rhetoric as part of broader campaign tactics. “It wasn’t unexpected,” he remarked. “There’s been a significant amount of racial commentary, particularly from Republicans, aimed at winning the white vote.”

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, known for his podcast Kill Tony, made the controversial remark while speaking at the Madison Square Garden event. He said, “There’s a lot happening out there. You may not know this, but there’s actually a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

While campaigning in Michigan, she sidestepped a question from reporters about the controversial initiative. As Election Day approaches, Harris mentioned that her mail-in ballot was “on its way to California,” but maintained her decision not to comment on the measure.
“I am not going to talk about the vote on that. Because honestly, it’s the Sunday before the election and I don’t intend to create an endorsement one way or another around it,” stated Harris, who has a background as the former San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, and U.S. senator before assuming the vice presidency in 2020.
A judge in Pennsylvania is set to evaluate a challenge against Elon Musk’s $1 million-a-day giveaway to registered voters ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

This initiative targets registered voters in seven key battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, which are critical for the election outcome.
Legal experts question whether Musk’s actions violate federal laws against paying individuals to register to vote. The U.S. Department of Justice has issued warnings, but no formal action has been taken.

China Prepares Stimulus Plan with an Eye on US Elections
On Monday, China’s top lawmakers convened to discuss a significant stimulus package that analysts believe may expand further if former US President Donald Trump regains the presidency this week.
In recent months, Beijing has responded to calls for enhanced economic support after a prolonged period of inaction, introducing various measures such as interest rate cuts and the relaxation of certain home buying restrictions.
However, officials have yet to announce a specific figure for the anticipated stimulus, which has left investors disappointed after a recent market rally faltered due to a lack of commitment to a concrete plan.

Trump and Harris Campaigns Race to Mobilize Voters on Eve of U.S. Election
As the final full day of an unprecedented presidential election unfolds on Monday, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are urgently working to galvanize their supporters ahead of a contest they both deem critical for the future of America.
Despite the whirlwind of events over the past few months, the electorate remains sharply divided, both nationwide and across seven key battleground states expected to determine the outcome on Tuesday. The tightness of the race suggests it could take several days before a winner is declared.
Trump, the 78-year-old Republican candidate, narrowly escaped two assassination attempts and recently became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a felony, following a jury verdict in New York—the city that propelled him to national fame. Meanwhile, Harris, at 60, ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket in July after President Joe Biden, 81, faced a challenging debate performance and ultimately withdrew from the reelection race under party pressure.
Final Campaign Push for Harris and Trump
Bitter rivals Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are set to embark on a frenetic final campaign push on Monday, both targeting the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania on the last day of an election cycle marked by unprecedented volatility.
Republican Trump is aiming for a “landslide” victory as he seeks a dramatic return to the White House, while Democrat Harris asserts that the “momentum” is in her favor as she strives to become America’s first female president.
However, as Election Day approaches, polls indicate a different narrative, showing a complete deadlock nationally and in the seven key swing states where the outcome is anticipated to be determined.
With the race featuring dramatic twists—including two assassination attempts on Trump and Harris’s surprising late entry—the battle is intensifying in this fiercely contested battleground.

Trump Declares Intent to Invoke Alien Enemies Act at Final Georgia Rally

With early voting numbers suggesting that central Georgia supporters could significantly impact the election, Trump arrived an hour and a half late, wearing a black-and-gold “Make America Great Again” cap.
Staying on message, Trump announced his plan to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1790, a law historically used to intern Japanese, Italian, and German Americans during World War II. He also pledged to seek the death penalty for undocumented immigrants who commit homicide against Americans.
“The United States is now an occupied country,” he asserted, alleging that “there are thousands of people all over our towns and cities.”
Indian-American Congressman Shri Thanedar warned of the potential consequences of a Donald Trump presidency for U.S.-India relations, citing Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the last election and the possible impact of his sanctions policies. Thanedar expressed concerns that Trump’s actions could harm diplomatic ties and noted the stakes for the Indian-American community in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
He highlighted the significance of Indian-American voters, especially in swing states like Michigan, where support for Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be growing. “Trump won Michigan in 2016, so it’s a close race, but we’re seeing some momentum for Harris, especially among women, young people, people of color, and African Americans,” Thanedar told ANI. He pointed out that Trump’s past remarks have alienated many within these groups, prompting a shift in support.
Discussing the political inclinations of the Indian-American community, Thanedar observed that while the community generally leans Democratic, its members hold diverse views on social, economic, and immigration issues.
A recent AtlasIntel poll indicates that former President Donald Trump is narrowly leading Vice President Kamala Harris in each of seven key swing states. The poll suggests Trump has an edge in North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

According to the AtlasIntel findings, Trump’s largest lead is in Arizona, where he polls at 52.3% compared to Harris’s 45.8%.
