As the presidential election enters its last full day, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are working hard to rally their supporters and secure votes in crucial battleground states. With the electorate sharply divided, both candidates use aggressive strategies to turn out their base and attract undecided voters.’
The neck-and-neck competition between Harris and Trump, with both viewed as strong candidates in such a historically unique election cycle, has locked both of these candidates into an electorate that is nearly equally split nationally and in the seven battleground states. ‘Such division highlights the crucial states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other areas likely to determine the course and outcome of the election.
Harris has focused on mobilizing key demographics, particularly young voters and communities of color. Even in the final days before election day, her campaign emphasized grassroots engagement, with volunteers reportedly knocking on hundreds of thousands of doors across battleground states.’
Campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon sounded upbeat about their voter mobilization, citing internal data showing that undecided voters, especially women, were breaking for them. Harris’s campaign is further bolstered by high early voting turnout among core constituencies.
Unlike Clinton, Trump’s approach takes on a different scenario because it targets “low propensity” voters who infrequently vote. Much of the grassroots is being outsourced from his campaign to super PACs, hoping to focus this set of voters and motivate them to vote for Trump on Election Day. Focus: people who usually tend not to vote but to have voted for him.
This includes hits through several battleground states as this period draws close. He has expressed and presented a message focused on economic issues and immigration, knowing well that these issues were the deep concerns of many voters who feared they’d see their prices jump high and security at home deteriorate.
Both candidates are ending their campaigns with cross-country battleground state stops. Harris spent Monday in Scranton, Pennsylvania, rallying campaign workers and urging them to draw every vote they can muster. She promises to visit several key locations, including Allentown and Philadelphia, and hopes to energize the electorate with the support of high-profile figures like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Trump is campaigning hard on his last day, flying out early from North Carolina and making multiple stops in Pennsylvania. He told supporters in a recent rally that he was confident of the lead and to go vote. Strategically, this campaign seeks to resonate well with voters who feel the pinch of rising costs and is a desperate approach to mobilize usual nonvoters.
In addition to critical referendums, such as abortion rights in multiple states, voters will also be deciding thousands of local, state, and federal positions. With stakes higher than ever, both candidates realize that voter turnout will be the key to their victory as they make their final appeals.
With Election Day looming, all this will determine whether Harris can consolidate her place in history or whether Trump can mount a dramatic reversal of fortune to regain the presidency. Who wins Pennsylvania and what other battleground states will be consequential as both campaigns scramble to get every last vote.’
