What to expect Monday: Pennsylvania push
Both candidates will visit Pennsylvania, the state now considered to be key to winning the election due to its number of electoral votes and polls that show Harris and Trump in a statistical dead heat.
Trump is expected to start Monday in North Carolina, before heading to the cities of Reading and Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. At the end of the day, he will hold a rally in the battleground state of Michigan.
Harris, meanwhile, will visit Pittsburgh and hold a rally in Philadelphia. The event in Philadelphia on election eve will feature celebrity guests Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.
The Harris campaign on Monday evening will hold a national livestream show which will showcase “get out the vote” events all seven battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
The FBI has issued a warning about an uptick of the candidates ahead of voting, some of which have been traced back to Russia-based operations.
Monday also marks the final day of early voting, with some 75 million Americans having already cast their ballot.
