The presidential campaign comes down to a final attack on a handful of states on the eve of election day.
Kamala Harris will spend all of Monday in Pennsylvania, where the 19 electoral votes will provide the biggest prize among the states expected to determine the outcome of the Electoral College. Donald Trump plans four meetings in three states, starting in Raleigh, North Carolina and stopping twice in Pennsylvania with events in Reading and Pittsburgh.

Here’s the latest:
The vice president will hold a rally in Allentown with rapper Fat Joe before visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant in Reading with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
She will also hold an evening gathering in Pittsburgh with performances by DJ D-Nice, Katy Perry and Andra Day, before gathering at the Museum of the Arts’ “Rocky Steps” in Philadelphia, which features a statue of the fictional boxer.
The closing event will feature remarks from DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, Freeway and Just Blaze, as well as Lady Gaga, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ricky Martin, The Roots, Jazmine Sullivan and Adam Blackstone, and Oprah Winfrey.
Former President Donald Trump is closing out what he says will be his last day of campaigning for the White House with a busy schedule of four rallies in three battleground states.
He starts Monday in Raleigh, North Carolina, underscoring the significance of a state he has visited over the past three days.
Then he heads to Pennsylvania – perhaps the biggest prize on the electoral map – for rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh.
He will end his night — and likely spend the early morning of Election Day — in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That’s a campaign tradition for the former president, who also held final-day rallies there during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.
After visiting Scranton, Harris will speak in Allentown — a largely Spanish-speaking city home to tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans — at an event with rapper Fat Joe, whose parents were of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent.
Pennsylvania is a swing state that could decide the election. But the stop also comes after a comic at a recent Donald Trump rally suggested Puerto Rico was “garbage.”
Harris later heads to Reading, where she plans to visit a Puerto Rican restaurant with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
