In the final hours before Election Day, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump wrapped up months of campaigning with last-minute rallies and events across swing states.
Harris spent Nov. 4 in Pennsylvania, kicking off her day in Scranton before delivering remarks in Allentown. She also attended rallies and concerts in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with celebrities.
Trump focused his final push on three battleground states, making stops in Raleigh, North Carolina; Reading and Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania; and Grand Rapids, Michigan. After his last rally, the candidate is expected to return to Palm Beach, Florida, with plans to cast his vote in person in the morning and hold an election-night dinner for top supporters.

Voters heading to the polls on Nov. 5 should be prepared for possible hiccups, state election officials warned.
According to a joint statement from the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), Americans could face late-opening polling sites, lines during peak hours, and potential power outages.
Officials also noted that election night results are preliminary, as official counts will include all ballots — those cast in person, by mail, and by military and overseas voters — in the days and weeks following. Close races may require recounts or audits to confirm accuracy, urging the public to be patient.
