Kamala Harris courted voters angered by the Gaza war while Donald Trump doubled down on violent rhetoric with a comment about journalists being shot as the tense U.S. election campaign headed into its final hours.
The Democratic vice president and the Republican former president frantically blitzed several swing states as they tried to win over the last holdouts with less than 36 hours left until polls open on Election Day.
Trump predicted a "landslide," while Harris told a raucous rally at Michigan State University that "we have momentum -- it's on our side."
The 2024 race is going down to the wire, with more key states effectively tied at this point than in any comparable election. Over 77.6 million people have cast early votes, around half of the total ballots cast in 2020.
With the clock ticking, Harris, 60, spent the day in must-win Michigan where she risks losing the support of a 200,000-strong Arab-American community that has denounced U.S. handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
"As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza," Harris said at the start of her speech, noting that there were leaders of the community at her rally. "I want to say this year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza, given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon. It is devastating."
But the rest of the speech was upbeat, with the U.S. vice president spending more time on urging people to get out and vote than on attacks on her rival Trump.
"We got two days to get this done," she said. "Let's spend the next two days so that we have no regrets."
Trump's Sunday timetable centered on Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia -- the three biggest swing-state prizes in the Electoral College system that awards US states influence according to their population.
The 78-year-old Trump again indicated he may not accept a defeat and he added to his increasingly dark rhetoric by musing to supporters that he wouldn't mind if journalists were shot.
Democrats are "demonic," the oldest major party candidate in U.S. history told a crowd in Lititz, Pennsylvania, also telling his own supporters they would be "stupid" if they don't vote.
Despite no evidence of any meaningful election cheating so far, he claimed that Democrats in Pennsylvania "are fighting so hard to steal this damn thing."
And during his often unfocused 90-minute address, he recalled the near-miss assassination attempt against him in July, adding that for him to be shot again the bullet would have to pass through the crowd of media.
"To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news -- and I don't mind that so much," he said to laughter.
Trump also said he "shouldn't have left" the White House after he lost his 2020 reelection effort to Joe Biden and then tried to overturn the results.
Trump has previously hinted that he would again refuse to accept defeat this time around.
Later in another rambling speech in Kinston, North Carolina Trump said "we're going to have on Tuesday a landslide that's too big to rig."
The polls however show that the result is likely to be historically tight.
A final New York Times/Siena poll Sunday flagged incremental changes in swing states, but the results from all seven remained within the margin of error.
Trump made a rare admission to ABC News earlier Sunday that "I guess you could lose, can lose. I mean, that happens, right?"
In the last hours, both candidates are desperately trying to shore up their bases, and win over any undecided voters.
Pollsters have noted an erosion in Black support for Harris.
Earlier, Harris quoted scripture in a majority-Black church in Detroit, Michigan and urging Americans to look beyond Trump. "Let us turn the page and write the next chapter of our history," she said.
But with abortion rights a top voter concern, her campaign has hailed the large proportion of women turning out among early voters.
Harris got a boost Saturday as the final Des Moines Register poll for Iowa -- seen as a highly credible test of wider public sentiment -- showed a stunning turnaround, with Harris ahead in a state won easily by Trump in 2016 and 2020.
Trump dismissed the findings as a "fake poll."

Something that should concern all of the expats in the audience is MAGA questioning the validity of overseas voters.

Typical Trump. Has he ever admitted he has lost anything? The guy is such a narcissist.

Trump in the king of the disinformation brigade. His cult members will fall in line and get busy on boards everywhere, including this one.
He has no evidence, but the uneducated goobers will accept it without reservation and echo it.
When the Tandem Boys get here with their numbers and descriptions of alleged acts of voter fraud, it will be very telling when they can’t back it up with any reliable source.

Hopefully, this will depress MAGA turnout.
Don't be surprised if Trump loses Georgia and NC too.

Translation please! Let me help you with just two points:
"The key difference between communism and Marxism is that communists believe in using violence to achieve their goals while Marxists do not." So, let us call MAGA communists, right!
Concerning globalism:
"the idea that events in one country cannot be separated from those in another, and that a government should consider the effects of its actions on the rest of the world." Doesn't sound too bad, does it?

“Lancaster did what any other county would do which is investigate and make sure that potentially fraudulent voter registration applications are not processed.”

Yet another DEFINITELY NOT BIASED article twisting Trump’s words and attacking him with no basis. The media never fails to demonize Trump, calling him “apocalyptic” and “violent,” while they conveniently ignore Harris and Biden’s failed policies that have let American cities fall into chaos and emboldened foreign adversaries. Harris ironically quoting scripture in churches is just another laughable hollow act from the far-left to pander for votes while her administration fails working-class Americans (and unborn babies).

This is desperation, defeat, and dementia - all wrapped into one…
Donald Trump appeared to be running out of steam and memory on Sunday during his fifth rally out of six that he planned over the weekend ahead of Tuesday's election. The event was held in Kinston, North Carolina.
After arriving late to his second rally of the day, he gave a shout-out to a Republican running for office… except the person was not running in the swing state of North Carolina.
"You have one of the best of all right here. David McCormick," he told the audience. "Where is David? Is he around someplace? You know, we just left him. He's a great guy." The thing is, McCormick is running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, a state Trump visited on Sunday morning.
His tardiness and lethargy appeared to not only affect his energy but also affected attendees early on, with a reporter sharing video of people leaving the event less than five minutes after he began his speech.

The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris."

Thank God the election circus will be finally over. Hopefully the level of insults, moronic comments and name calling will subside in the media, including the JT boards a little. It's been disgraceful to say the least.

To the misread Orwell references and 1984 add Kafka too that.
Both radical socialists.

For a real 'Kafkaesque' experience try talking to the crowd at a MAGA rally.
Kafka or Orwell could even write novels about it.

Are the Dems worried? What do they have against the Constitution?
Cards fan
See! The Democrats r cheating again. And by again, I mean I'm including my previous unproven absurd allegations. The only fair result is a Trump win. If Trump doesn't win, then that proves their was election fraud. reeee

If Trump wins he'll open the gates of hell.
It's Trump who wants to abolish the Constitution.
"Donald Trump called for the termination of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 election and reinstate him to power."

Does Project 2025 propose the US president be given supreme authority? If so is that consistent with a US President's duties according to the US Constitution, at least as traditionally understood? I would not trust this corrupt iteration of the Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution, but think Musk and other billionaire extremists will try to buy off the most corrupt current members of the Court to enable Trump to rule supreme like his global despot idols.
Jimizo
Sounds a bit like Fredo Corleone.
Musk deserves respect to a point. Spamming social media with trash isn’t worthy of respect.
RFK is a crackpot with brain worms, Gabbard is a preposterous, wooden grifter and Vivek just is Trump with a higher IQ but with none of the media savvy or charisma.

We don’t know other than it’s not going to happen
Why not? 7 out of the 8 major rulings favored liberals, so they are corrupt??? How? You guys won a lot, don’t complain
You mean like Hollywood or Cuban or Soros some of the most powerful people on the planet trying to install a woman that can’t even garner a cohesive serious thought?

The article mentions old man Trump's age a couple of times. It is important because of his family history of dementia. The guy has always been a scatterbrain, and it has become much worse this year.
Cards fan
lmao They're not trying to install her. They're backing her for president.
hahaha Oh please, Trumpies are the last people to be criticizing anyone's ability to have a "cohesive serious though." Get real. Here are a few of the rogue's schooler's greatest hits:
This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.
I’m intelligent. Some people would say I’m very, very, very intelligent.

Some comments mention "left" and "Marxist." But the Republican candidate does not have the endorsement of the previous Republican nominees, and certainly not the two-term President Bush (R). Parties usually mean the candidate gets those endorsements. Old man Trump cannot have it for good reason.

Kamala waves to the people while Trump gives what could easily be assumed was a Nazi salute. Bad camera angle? Who knows. What we do know is Trump has more than once praised Hitler. You be the judge.
In my opinion Trump has lost some of his marbles and has less every day. If he gets to the white house its an even money bet he wont see the end of his term, but be replaced by Vance who has all his marbles at this point. Not high quality but he has a full pouch of marbles.

The establishment, they are.
So then why do people trust Trump more on the economy and immigration, why are men, Black and Latino men breaking more for Trump? They all don't have cohesive thoughts? Typically, the breadwinners right? Most of them make money and provide for their families. I think they would know better.
Well, the US has Canada to its North so makes it harder....
Yes
And used it to create more wealth, so yeah...
stormcrow
Such a vulgar and trashy man.
How could any people choose such a man to lead them?

What was Trump stimulating in front of very young children at his rally? Criminal.
bass4funk
He keeps it real, he's like all of us, human, fallible, imperfect.
Because of what I just said, and he's resonating more with minority men especially, the Dems did him a favor by trying to trump up charges and hoped it would have kept him off the campaign trail, and like a boss the guy was defiant, which impressed a lot of men, knowing he could have possibly have gone to jail and he never backed down, not once. Talk about being a Mensch!
Peter Neil
ah, there it is.
can’t have no woman president.
rather vote for a serial sex abuser, convicted felon, draft dodger, never started a business that he didn’t bankrupt, pathological liar man who is so patriotic that he hasn’t paid $1 in income taxes in the last 12 years, even as a gift to america.
