Trump and Harris make final pitches ahead of knife-edge election

ai generated text

The 2024 US presidential election was a closely contested and unpredictable race, marked by unprecedented events such as two assassination attempts against Donald Trump and the surprise withdrawal of President Joe Biden. The election pitted Trump, the Republican candidate, against Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice president and the first female president if elected. Trump vowed to replace thousands of federal workers with loyalists and impose sweeping tariffs on allies and foes alike, while Harris courted voters angered by the Gaza war and promised a more progressive agenda. The two candidates spent the waning hours of the campaign overlapping in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. Despite a final push by both sides, the election results were too close to call, with multiple key states effectively tied at the time. The first polls closed at 6 pm ET, with subsequent polls closing throughout the night. Election results would not be official until votes were counted and verified.

Kamala Harris
Democratic Party
1. You know this whole era of this other guy. ... What it's done with all that talk has been about trying to have us point fingers at each other and divide each other. It makes people feel alone. It makes them feel like there's nobody standing with them.
2. As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza.
3. Everything from what we need to do to create, for example of first time national ban on corporate price gouging on groceries, what we can do around tax credits for young families, tax credits and support for small businesses, including what we can do around a $25,000 down payment assistance for first time homebuyers.
4. We are fighting for a democracy, which is why I say that I am not going to be a leader who thinks that people who disagree with me should be put into jail, that they are the enemy.
Nikki Haley
Republican Party
1. The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Tomorrow, you have to stand up and tell Kamala that you've had enough.
2. We're going to miss these rallies aren't we, huh? But they'll be even better rallies, in a different form, I think.
3. You are going to say you've done a terrible job, you're grossly incompetent, we are not going to take it anymore.

1. Muslims are split. They're not all voting third party, but let's imagine a third are: then you've got up to 50,000 votes that had traditionally gone to the Democrats moving away. So if the margin is as slim as it was last time, it may affect the Democratic party.
2. The vote right now is so close that a small amount of tipping in one direction or another could swing it.
