Harris and Trump set sights on Pennsylvania in final push before Election Day

If it goes the other way, I think we're gonna be awful suspicious,

he told AFP outside the 12,000-seat Van Andel Arena, where supporters had braved hours of rain, some perched on fold-out chairs

If you look at the numbers of people, you look at the rallies, it's crazy the support that Trump has,

said Mark Perry, 65, who had lined up in Grand Rapids

I'm just a die-hard Trump supporter,

he said, listing the flow of undocumented migrants along the southern US border as his top concern

I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm worried,

said Robin Matthews, a community organiser

It would be very hard to accept,

said Jacob Smith, 41, an HVAC technician from the area, as his wife Danielle chimed in to echo his concerns

Every Supreme Court decision or bad Republican policy, or bad Democratic policy, I get the short end of the stick,

she complained

He'll ruin everything [...] there's no checks and balances anymore [if he is reelected],

she said

I'm a Black woman in America, so unfortunately, all policies hit me differently,

she said

If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole ball of wax, it's over,

Trump told one of his crowds in Raleigh, Pennsylvania

And I pledge to always put country above party and self and to be a president for all Americans,

she added in the speech where she didn't mention Trump's name

The closing arguments have been made

David Kochel, Republican strategist, said

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

On the campaign trail Trump echoed Ronald Reagan by asking voters

I think national law is actually more important than the price of eggs because eggs can go up and down but peace, if you lose it, you might not ever get it back.

He said

I want to say it,

he added, with the crowd urging him to say it

It’s good to be back in the City of Brotherly Love, where the foundation of our democracy was forged,

Harris said

This is all about a final attempt at voter mobilization and persuasion, and that so much time is being spent in Pennsylvania by both Harris and Trump tells you how both campaigns see it: Whomever wins the state likely wins the presidency,

Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis said

Getting out the vote is the last crucial step that could make the difference,

Republican strategist Matthew Bartlett said

It will be too late by 2028,

Kennedy, speaking directly to the camera, said in the video

There's clearly a desperation that's taken hold in their campaign,

the person said

We feel very good about Pennsylvania and the work that we’ve done,

she said
