US Election 2024 LIVE Updates: Harris and Trump to make furious move on final day before Election Day

A presidential campaign that has resulted in a felony trial, the delisting of an incumbent president and multiple assassination attempts is turning into a final push in a handful of states on the eve of Election Day.

Kamala Harris will spend all of Monday in Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral delegates who give the biggest prize among the states expected to determine the Electoral College outcome. The vice president and Democratic nominee will visit working-class areas, including Allentown, and culminate with a late-night rally in Philadelphia that includes Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.

Donald Trump is planning four rallies in three states, starting in Raleigh, North Carolina, with two stops in Pennsylvania, along with events in Reading and Pittsburgh. The Republican candidate and former president wrapped up his campaign the same way he did his first two, with an event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, late Monday night. (AP)

US Election 2024 LIVE Updates: Here’s what to watch as Election Day approaches in the US:

In the United States, Election Day is now generally considered election week; because each state follows its own rules and practices regarding vote counting, as well as legal challenges that could delay the results. But the truth is, no one knows how long it will take to announce the winner this time.

In 2020, the Associated Press declared President Joe Biden the winner on Saturday afternoon, four days after the polls closed. But even then, the AP called North Carolina for Trump 10 days after Election Day and Georgia for Biden 16 days after hand counts.

It’s unclear which voters will show up to vote on Tuesday, the eve of Election Day.

More than 77 million people participated in early voting in person or by mail. So many people have voted that some officials say polling places in states like Georgia could become “ghost towns” on Election Day.

One of the main reasons for the increase is that Trump is generally encouraging his supporters to vote early this time around; It’s a reversal from 2020, when he urged Republicans to vote only in person on Election Day. Early voting numbers confirm that millions of Republicans have heeded Trump’s call in recent weeks. (AP)
