    PHILADELPHIA – Vice President Kamala Harris is making a last-minute pitch to her supporters on the biggest battleground.

    “We need you to vote, Pennsylvania. We need you to vote,” Harris emphasized as she addressed a large crowd in the Keystone state capital of Harrisburg last week. “No one can sit on the sidelines.”

    The vice president and Democratic presidential candidate will return to Pennsylvania on Monday and hold rallies in Allentown, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia on election night.

    Her rival for the White House, Republican candidate President Donald Trump, held a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

    “A very, very special greeting to Pennsylvania… What a wonderful place. And I’m thrilled to be back in this beautiful Commonwealth with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots,” the former president told the crowd at his rally in Lititz.

    Trump’s message to his supporters: “Pennsylvania, go vote.”

    On Monday, the last full day of campaigning before Election Day, Trump returns to the state to hold rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh.

    With 19 electoral votes up for grabs, it is the biggest prize among the seven major battlegrounds whose razor-thin margins determined President Biden’s 2020 election victory over Trump and will likely determine whether Trump or Harris will succeed Biden in the White House.

    “Pennsylvania is the only state where it’s hard to see someone lose the presidential race and still win,” Mark Harris, a Pittsburgh-based Republican national strategist and advertising executive, told Fox News. “It’s clearly ground zero.”

    Harris, a veteran of several Republican Party presidential campaigns, called Pennsylvania “a major tipping point state.”

    Pointing to the state’s major cities — Philadelphia and Pittsburgh — its electorally crucial suburban areas and its vast rural counties, Harris emphasized, “I think it’s a good microcosm of America.”

    The former president, the current vice president and their running mates – Republican Party vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance and his Democratic counterpart – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz – and top surrogates, have made repeated stops in the state this summer and fall .

    While the campaigns and their allied super PACs have poured resources into all seven battlegrounds, more money has been spent on running spots in Pennsylvania than any other swing states, according to figures from AdImpact, a leading national ad tracking company.

    Pennsylvania, along with Michigan and Wisconsin, are the three Rust Belt states that form Democrats’ so-called “Blue Wall.”

    The party reliably won all three states for a quarter century before Trump narrowly captured them in the 2016 election to win the White House.

    Four years later, in 2020, Biden carried all three states by razor-thin margins to put them back in the Democrats’ column and defeated Trump.

    A New York Times/Siena College poll in Pennsylvania last Tuesday through Saturday, released Sunday, showed Harris and Trump tied at 48% of likely voters in the state. It was the last investigation showing a tie or margin of error.

    Senior Harris campaign officials, taking questions from reporters Sunday evening, noted that about three-quarters of Keystone State voters will cast their ballots Tuesday “because, unlike other states, early voting guidelines and availability in Pennsylvania are simply more limited .”

    However, they added that when it comes to early voting in the state, “we’re very pleased with what we’re seeing.”

    They predicted that “we expect to have a very strong Election Day in Pennsylvania.”

    However, Pennsylvania is also the state where Trump survived an assassination attempt in July – two days before the start of the Republican National Convention. Additionally, the former president returned to the Butler location — in the western part of the state — last month for a massive rally.

    Ahead of his two rallies in Pennsylvania, Trump will kick off his campaign schedule on Monday in North Carolina, where he will hold his fourth rally since Saturday, which has raised eyebrows among political operatives.

    “We’ve been very lucky in North Carolina. We won it twice,” Trump said in Kinston on Sunday. “We’re going to win North Carolina.”

    A day earlier, at another rally in North Carolina, he warned his supporters that “if you win by a lot, you can still lose by a little.”

    Polls show a margin-of-error race in North Carolina, the only one of the seven key battleground states that Trump narrowly handed to Biden four years ago. A source in the former president’s political circle confided to Fox News that there were concerns about a possible backlash in the Tar Heel State.

    While Harris concludes her campaign with a late night rally in Philadelphia, Trump will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan for his final rally. For Trump it is tradition. He concluded his 2016 and 2020 campaigns in the southwestern Michigan city.

    Trump, as he has done in recent days, argued again on Sunday without providing evidence that Democrats were trying to cheat.

    “They’re fighting so hard to steal this damn thing,” the former president charged during his rally in Pennsylvania.

    Later, at his rally in North Carolina, he also repeated his claim that “we have a big lead. We have a big lead. The fake news, they don’t tell you this. We have a big, nice lead.”

    In response, Harris told reporters on Sunday: “I would particularly ask people who have not yet voted not to fall for his tactics, which I think includes suggesting to people that if they vote, their vote doesn’t matter . Somehow the integrity of our voting system is not intact, so they don’t vote.”

    “It is intended to distract from the fact that we have and support free and fair elections in our country,” Harris argued. “We did that in 2020. He lost.”

    The Harris campaign also touted its very formidable “vote out the closet” operation on Sunday night, highlighting that there were more than 90,000 volunteers helping recruit voters this weekend, knocking on more than three million doors. battlefields.
