Election Day is tomorrow. That means one last mad dash by former President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris to try to drum up excitement and motivate supporters to get to the polls in a race that polls have shown as essentially tied — and one big symbolic hurrah at the end, for each of them.
Trump will wrap up with a late-night rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., where he closed out his 2016 win — and went back to in 2020, noting he was “a little superstitious.”
Harris, who has called herself the “underdog” of the 2024 race, will end with a concert at the “Rocky Steps” of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, made famous in the ultimate underdog movie.
Here’s what the rest of the day looks like.

Trump kicks off in North Carolina
Trump held several rallies over the weekend — half of them in North Carolina. His first rally of the day Monday is slated for Raleigh at 10 a.m. ET.
This was not supposed to be a swing state. Republicans carried it for decades, with the exception of former President Barack Obama in 2008. Trump won it twice.
But the race with Harris has been very competitive, and Trump has spent more time in North Carolina than in Pennsylvania.

Harris starts in Scranton, Pa. — the hometown of Joe Biden
Harris is spending her entire day in Pennsylvania, starting in Scranton — an odd choice, perhaps, given that she has been trying to draw some distinctions between herself and President Biden.
Biden hasn’t been out on the trail much. But on Saturday, he made one of his very few campaign stops in Scranton. He’ll be at the White House on Monday when Harris speaks to canvassers before they head out to knock on doors.

They’ll both be in Pennsylvania’s ‘Latino corridor’
Both candidates have been fighting to win over Latino voters in Pennsylvania this year. There are about 580,000 Latino voters living in the state, most of them with Puerto Rican ties.
Democrats found a new opening after a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” during Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, touching off outrage in the Latino community.
Trump is slated to hold a rally in Reading at 2 p.m. ET, while Harris is having one in Allentown, an hour’s drive up the Hwy. 222 corridor. Afterward, she’ll stop by a Puerto Rican restaurant in Reading with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Second-last stops: dueling Pittsburgh rallies
Before they head off to their big finales, each candidate will stop in Steeltown. Trump is slated to hold a rally here at 6 p.m. ET, while Harris will have hers at 9 p.m. ET. Both candidates have spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh, a former Democratic bastion when the Republicans have made major inroads, during the campaign. Harris will be joined by D-Nice, Katy Perry and Andra Day.
The fact that Harris is spending her entire final day in Pennsylvania shows how important this state and its 19 votes in the Electoral College are to Democrats.
