Trump says goodbye to ‘big beautiful rallies’ in last event before election
Former President Donald Trump bid farewell to his trademark rallies during an early morning stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, his last event on the 2024 campaign trail. “Your support means more than anything you can even understand… this is my last rally, can you believe it? The rallies, these big beautiful rallies, there’s never been anything like it and there never will be,” Trump told supporters at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan at a rally in the early morning hours on Tuesday. The comments come after a whirlwind day for Trump, who wrapped up his 2024 campaign with stops in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. TRUMP TO CONTINUE SWING STATE TRADITION IN FINAL CAMPAIGN EVENT OF 2024 The former president didn’t take the stage in Grand Rapids until after midnight Tuesday, meaning Trump spoke to supporters at his last event on election day in his final pitch to be sent back to the White House. Trump’s Grand Rapids event marked the third time the former president ended his campaign in the West Michigan city, having concluded his former runs at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids in 2016 and the city’s airport in 2020. The event also signified how critical of a prize the swing state of Michigan would be for his White House bid, a state where both campaigns have combined to double the number of events and visits that were held there in 2016 and 2020. BIDEN CALLS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘GARBAGE’ DURING HARRIS CAMPAIGN EVENT AS VP PROMISES UNITY AT ELLIPSE RALLY Trump was able to narrowly capture the state in his race against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, but then lost it to President Biden in another nail-biter in 2020. Michigan promises to play a similar role in determining who ultimately wins in 2024, joining the states of Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as the critical battlegrounds in this year’s election. Trump, who has said this will be his last campaign even if he were to lose to Vice President Kamala Harris, at times struck a reflective tone during the Grand Rapids event, thanking supporters in Michigan who have supported him through three runs for president. “You’re really incredible people,” Trump said.. “Now it’s nine years and we’ve been fighting side-by-side every step of the way we’ve been together.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
At final Harris rally, Oprah warns a Trump presidency could end voting rights
Shortly before Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage on the “Rocky Steps” of the Philadelphia Art Museum at her final rally before Election Day, billionaire Oprah Winfrey declared her fear a Donald Trump presidency could curtail Americans’ right to vote. Winfrey was introduced by Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff around 11 PM ET on Monday, and brought to the dais with her 10 first-time voters who have or will be casting a ballot for Harris, including MLS Philadelphia Union forward Eddy Davis III. Winfrey recounted hiking on a recent Sunday and meeting a woman who said she would “sit this [election] out.” “So I said, ‘sit this one out’. We don’t get to sit this one out. — If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.” “And let me be very clear, if you do not make sure that the people in your life can get to the polls, that is a mistake.” TRUMP RALLIES IN PA CITY WITH HIGHEST PROPORTION OF HISPANIC POPULATION HOURS BEFORE POLLS OPEN Winfrey added that supporting Harris is a vote to protect and defend the Constitution. She also quoted from former President John F. Kennedy’s “ask not what you can do for your country” address, adding “what you can do for every young woman who has died because she was not eligible to receive the emergency medical care she desperately needed because of the abortion ban – and what you can do for yourself and what you can do for everyone and everything you cherish, is vote.” Winfrey was followed by musician Will.i.am. The performer, whose real name is William Adams Jr., performed a song with the refrain “Yes, She Can,” in support of Harris. In her address, Harris said her campaign has shown “who America is,” and that “we are all in this together.” “Philadelphia; are you ready to do this?” she asked, adding the city was where “democracy was forged,” and nodded to the 1976 Sylvester Stallone classic in saying the location of the rally was a “tribute to those who start as the underdog and climb to victory.” Harris called Tuesday the “most consequential election of our lifetimes, and the momentum is on our side.” Our campaign has tapped into the ambitions and the aspirations and the dreams of the American people. We are optimistic, and we are excited about what we can do together. And we know it is time for a new generation of leadership in America. And I am ready to offer that leadership as the next president of the United States of America.” Harris went on to pledge that she will be a president who knows the “true measure of a leader is not based on who you beat down but who you lift up.” PA LEADERS TALK CAMPAIGN GROUND GAME “It is my pledge to you that if you give me a chance to fight on your behalf as president, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way… Instead of stewing over an enemies list, I will spend every day on your behalf working on my to-do list full of priorities to improve your lives.” Chants of “we are not going back” soon erupted. She added that she will listen to people who disagree with her and that they will have a “seat at the table” as is custom for “strong leaders.” “I pledge to put country above party and self and to be a president for all Americans,” she said. “We are the promise of America.” Harris also credited Republicans who may or may not have ever voted for a Democrat in the past but endorsed her in this cycle. Such figures have included former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., former Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., former Pence aide Olivia Troye, former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci, former Melania Trump aide Stephanie Grisham, former G.W. Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Reagan-era FBI Director William Webster. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP “Tonight, we finish as we started with optimism, with energy, with joy, knowing that ‘we the people’ have the power to shape our future and that we can confront any challenge we face when we do it together,” Harris said, later adding, “When we fight, we win.” Other speakers at the rally included Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro – widely considered the runner-up to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the vice presidential sweeps. Shapiro also noted Philadelphia’s prominence in the founding of America, adding, “we are not going back to a king.” In an apparent response to a comic at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally making a crack about Puerto Rico being an “island of garbage,” two Puerto Rican musicians took the stage Monday night. Rapper Fat Joe said, “I heard they needed a Puerto Rican in Philly, and I was so happy to be here” and slammed Trump’s comments about the immigration crisis at his first campaign launch: “Seeing Donald Trump come down that escalator and call my Mexican brothers and sisters rapists and drug dealers, he obviously didn’t know the contributions of Mexican-Americans to this country,” the Bronx-born Joe, né Joseph Antonio Cartagena, said. San Juan-born Ricky Martin later took the stage and performed his 1999 hit “Livin’ La Vida Loca” before also endorsing Harris.

Harris-Trump showdown: First votes cast at midnight in tiny New Hampshire township
The first results of the 2024 election day are in from Dixville Notch, New Hampshire with former President Donald Trump and Vice-president Kamala Harris splitting the tiny town’s six votes. The final count read out by officials around 12:10 a.m. on Tuesday morning were 3 for Trump and 3 for Harris. The six citizens of Dixville Notch, which is a remote unincorporated township in New Hampshire’s North Country region, cast their ballots at midnight. Before voters cast their ballots, Cory Pesaturo, three-time world accordion champion, performed an accordion rendition of the national anthem as voters held their hands over their hearts. The tiny village began its tradition of midnight voting in 1960. Four years ago, then-former Vice President Biden swept all five votes cast in the tiny township near the U.S.-Canadian border, en route to his White House victory over Trump. All eligible voters in the township – which totaled six in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary in January – gathered in Dixville’s Tillotson House, where voting remained open until everybody cast their ballot. Dixville Notch isn’t the only New Hampshire town which has grabbed national attention with midnight voting on Election Day. Harts Location – in the state’s White Mountains – started midnight voting in 1948. And Millfield, which is near Dixville Notch in New Hampshire’s North Country, has also held midnight voting. But in the 2024 general election, Dixville Notch was the only location in New Hampshire holding midnight voting. Every four years – during the state’s presidential primary and the general election – reporters and media outlets from around the country and the globe descend on Dixville Notch to cover the midnight vote. Tom Tillotson, the longtime town moderator of the vote, has noted that “we get our 15 minutes of fame every four years.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Tim Walz talks abortion during final campaign rally with Michigan voters: ‘Everything is on the line’
Tim Walz spoke about abortion rights to cap off his final campaign rally before Election Day during a barely five minute address to Michigan voters Monday night. At a star-studded campaign rally from Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit on Election Day eve, which included a performance from Jon Bon Jovi and others, Walz told rally goers that he wanted to talk to them about “one issue in particular.” “Everything’s on the line,” Walz began in his short address from downtown Detroit. “But I want to take tonight to talk about one issue in particular that really underlines the stakes in this election. So let me speak to the guys in the crowd tonight. I want you to think about the women in your life that you love. Their lives are at stake in this election” Walz continued, before slamming Trump for appointing “Supreme Court Justices who repealed Roe v. Wade.” “And he brags about it,” Walz added. “He is glad that those women you’re thinking about – and you love – have fewer rights than their mothers and their grandmothers.” VOTERS REACT TO GOV. TIM WALZ CLAIMING ABORTION IS A ‘BASIC HUMAN RIGHT’ Walz lamented that women were allegedly being turned away from emergency rooms and being forced to undergo miscarriages in the parking lot, blaming Trump and the work he did to overturn federal abortion protections. Walz also blamed Trump for rape victims having to carry unwanted pregnancies to full term. Such claims from Walz – that state abortion laws have resulted in the deaths of pregnant women – previously earned him heat on the campaign trail from OB-GYNS, who decried Walz for claiming a Georgia woman died due to the state’s abortion laws during a debate with his opponent, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio. “When Congress passes that bill to restore reproductive freedom, President Harris will sign it into law,” Walz said. “Kamala and I trust women. It’s that simple.” Walz did not touch on any other policy issues during his barely five minute speech, which was preceded by his wife, Gwen, and the Democrat Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. Earlier in the day, Walz campaigned in several spots around Wisconsin, including Milwaukee. WALZ TRIES TO DOWNPLAY LAWS HE SIGNED GRANTING BENEFITS TO ILLEGALS IN MINNESOTA: ‘NOT THE VP’S POSITION’ In closing on Monday evening, Walz insisted that “women all across America” would be “send[ing] a loud and clear message to Donald Trump” on Election Day in response to his efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade. “Here’s the deal, folks, there’s going to be a day you’re going to be sitting in that rocking chair, and you’re going to be rocking on that porch, and a little one’s going to come home from school and ask, ‘What did you do in the 2024 election?’” Walz concluded at his last rally before Election Day. “And you’re going to be able to answer, ‘Every damn thing I could.”
JD Vance blames economic woes on Harris leadership during election eve night rally in Pennsylvania
Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, blamed Kamala Harris’ poor leadership over the last four years for the economic woes Americans have faced, such as increased housing costs, lost jobs, inflation and higher than average credit delinquency rates, during a rally in Pennsylvania Monday night. “She’s been in Washington for four years, and the consequence is that our fellow citizens are seeing credit card delinquency rates going through the roof, unaffordable housing, unaffordable grocery prices,” Vance said on Election Day eve from a venue in Newtown, Pennsylvania. “You know, 8% of our fellow citizens can’t afford to pay their car payments right now because of Kamala Harris’ policies. The state of Pennsylvania, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has seen a bigger increase in the cost of groceries than any state in the entire union. Pennsylvania families are being crushed by the cost of everything from groceries to housing.” In battleground Pennsylvania, one of the most coveted states for both candidates this election cycle, inflation remains higher than the national average. In September, food prices in Philadelphia were up 3.7% annually, compared to the national average of 1.3%. Meanwhile, energy prices in the Philadelphia metro area have increased at more than double the rate of the national average. Vance described Harris’ record when it comes to the economy as a “failure” and insisted she has no plan to fix it. He blasted the vice president over her approach to taxes as well, noting that she plans to let former President Trump’s tax cuts expire, which Vance said will lead to “every single person” paying thousands of dollars in extra taxes each year. JD VANCE TELLS NC CROWD HARRIS CAN’T DEAL WITH CHINA, RUSSIA IF SHE ‘RUNS’ FROM ‘FRIENDLY AMERICAN MEDIA’ “She thinks we ought to raise taxes on American citizens and reward foreign corporations that ship American jobs overseas,” Vance argued from his podium Monday night. “You know what Donald J. Trump thinks? President Trump thinks that we ought to cut your taxes and punish the corporations that are shipping American jobs overseas.” American jobs would be at risk under a potential Harris administration, Vance also added, pointing out that a recent jobs report showed 28,000 private sector jobs disappeared last month. “We lost 46,000 manufacturing jobs under Kamala Harris’ leadership,” he told the crowd. “But you know what? You know who we did hire? We hired a lot of government bureaucrats.” While Vance insisted that Harris’ policy record was poor on the economy and proves she would do little for Pennsylvanians’ cost-of-living concerns, the Ohio Senator praised former President Trump for already delivering a strong economy when he was president. “We want the president who had inflation at 1.5%.” Vance implored rally goers. “We know that Donald J Trump’s leadership delivered the fastest rising take-home pay in 40 years in the United States of America. He already did it.” JD VANCE SUGGESTS NEW CAMPAIGN SLOGAN FOR KAMALA HARRIS: ‘NOTHING COMES TO MIND’ Vance added that Trump has plans to increase the supply of housing, something the Harris campaign has also proposed, and said that the former president would fight to lower mortgage interest rates as well. Vance, Trump and Harris all spent time in Pennsylvania on Election Day eve, as they campaigned across numerous battleground states. Trump rallied Monday in Reading and Pittsburgh, while Harris spent time in Allentown, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. During Harris’ rally in Allentown, she told rally goers that she would strengthen the economy by cutting taxes on the middle-class, while raising them for the nation’s most wealthy and for corporations. She also insisted she would make everyday costs, like childcare, more affordable, and work to reduce costs for seniors. “It is my pledge to you that when I walk in the White House – instead of stewing over an enemy’s list – I will spend every day working on my to-do list on your behalf full of priorities that are about improving your life about bringing down the cost of living,” Harris said from Allentown Monday. “About banning corporate price gouging on groceries, about making housing and child care more affordable. My plan will be about cutting taxes for workers in middle-class families and small businesses. Lowering health care costs, including the cost of home care for home care for our seniors.”
