On Election Day, American voters are making their way to the polls after Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump delivered their last arguments on Monday, the final day of campaigning.
The former Republican president decided to wrap up his last rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by launching personal insults at Vice President Harris, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and fellow California Democrat Adam Schiff. He even took aim at his own ex-chief of staff, General John Kelly, who had recently called him a “fascist.”
Trump, who got a last-minute shoutout from prominent podcaster Joe Rogan, arrived late to the stage and wrapped up his speech at 2:09 AM, appearing visibly tired.
The Democratic candidate made a striking difference in her campaign by being accompanied in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by notable figures like Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and the band The Roots. Meanwhile, Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera lent their support in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas, respectively.
Harris created a spirited atmosphere and passionately declared to her supporters one last time: “We’re not going backwards!”
The first physical votes were cast at midnight in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, continuing a tradition that has lasted nearly 65 years. In this small town, where there are only six registered voters, the votes were evenly divided between the two candidates.

What Are Harris And Trump Doing This Election Day?
The candidates are certainly feeling drained from their relentless campaign activities in recent weeks, but they can't afford to take a break just yet.
One important aspect is that they should cast their own votes.
As reported by USA Today, Harris will be in Washington, D.C. for the day and intends to mark election night at Howard University, the institution where she studied political science and economics from 1983 to 1986.
If she emerges victorious, the Vice President will make history as the first American president to have graduated from a historically Black college or university.
Her running partner, Tim Walz, will be in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, along with his wife Gwen. After that, they'll make their way to Washington, D.C., for a Harris-Walz election night gathering with their supporters.
Donald Trump is anticipated to be at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and will hold a viewing event at a convention center in West Palm Beach.

Trump Slams Harris, Pelosi, And Kelly At Rally
The Republican candidate, appearing weary and more tanned than usual, held a total of four rallies across three states yesterday. During these events, he frequently deviated from his prepared remarks and expressed aggressive desires for retaliation, particularly at his last rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he also concluded his campaigns in 2016 and 2020.
In this part, he is attacking Harris, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and fellow California Democrat Adam Schiff. He also targets his own ex-White House chief of staff, General John Kelly, who recently described him as a “fascist.”
He also dissed Detroit once more, which seems like a poor strategy at this stage in such an important swing state.

Kamala Harris Promises: "We’re Not Going Back!"
We've reached this point. What comes next is uncertain.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris wrapped up her impressive three-month campaign with an inspiring speech in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, last night. In her address, she shared her optimistic vision for the future of America, choosing not to refer to her Republican opponent at any point.
Prior to that, her husband Doug Emhoff honored his wife with an emotional tribute, while Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey called on their audience to stay active and engaged. They highlighted the crucial need to participate in voting and ensure that their opinions are recognized.
The Harris campaign also utilized celebrity endorsements in various locations, with Katy Perry making an appearance in Pittsburgh and Christina Aguilera performing in Las Vegas.
