Battleground blitz: Harris, Trump make final push ahead of Election Day

Both candidates will be in swing state Pennsylvania on Monday

It is the final day of campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

With a race this close, neither candidate can afford to lose steam, which is why we saw each of them rallying support in battleground states over the weekend.

Harris spent Sunday in Michigan, traveling to three major areas. One of them was East Lansing, where she targeted young voters at Michigan State.

"As I travel, I see Americans from so called red states, the so called blue states, who are ready to bend the arc of history toward justice," Harris said. "I see an incredible number of our young people, our young leaders. Oh, it would inspire you to see how they are organizing for change."

Harris also released a final ad. The two-minute message is aimed at undecided voters, pleading with them to complete their ballots. The spot was strategically released during Sunday Night Football.

Meanwhile, Trump visited three states -- North Carolina, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

In Pennsylvania, he used more charged language to incite voters as he addressed a crowd in Lancaster.

"So we got to get our country straightened out or were not going to have a country, alright. That's all. And you have a chance in two days, and if you don't vote, you're stupid. You're stupid," he said.

On the eve of the presidential election, we speak with voters about how they're feeling, check in on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump at the end of the campaign trail and discuss what to expect Tuesday.

But apparently, it's all giving some voters here in the Bay State a bit of election anxiety.

"I'm frightened... I just think this world is going in the wrong direction," early voter Truvia Allen said.

Trump has promised to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history, replace the Affordable Care Act and stop taxing Social Security, issues that Holly Swain would typically be paying close attention to. Not so much this year, though.

"I normally vote on tax-based issues, but a woman's right to control her body is a very personal and important issue," she said.

Harris has vowed to bring Hamas-held hostages home, ban price gouging on groceries and expand the child tax credit

Family is top of mind for Curtis Dawn, who said he enjoys the Democratic process so much that he waits until Election Day to cast his ballot.

"I'm gonna bring my son with me," he said. "I've been teaching him since day one how important it is to vote."

Trump will be in North Carolina on Monday, and later in Pennsylvania.

The Keystone State is showing a firm deadlock in most polls, with each claiming about 48% of the vote there.

That is also where we'll find Harris on Monday -- in Scranton.

Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes, more than any other battleground state, meaning it's far more likely to tip Tuesday's election.

And remember, if you are still holding onto a mail-in ballot, sign it, seal it, and get it to a drop box as soon as possible. It needs to be collected by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
