Donald Trump and Kamala Harris closed out the tumultuous 2024 campaign with competing rallies across Pennsylvania, offering contrasting visions – and moods – in the final hours before polls opened in an election both candidates have cast as an existential fight for America’s future.
In Philadelphia, Harris ended a frenetic dash across the state at the art museum steps made famous in the film Rocky – “a tribute to those who start as the underdog and climb to victory” – where tens of thousands of supporters gathered for the star-studded event. Since her sudden ascent 107 days ago, Harris has told Democrats that she and her running mate, Tim Walz, are the “clear underdogs” in what polls suggest is an exceedingly close race against Trump.
