In the final day before the whirlwind 2016 presidential campaign comes to a close, both presidential candidates made the most of the time they have left, with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton making a combined nine stops in battleground states.
Trump, the Republican nominee, began his day in the Southeast, stopping in Florida and North Carolina, then heading north to Pennsylvania and joining his running mate, Mike Pence, for two events in New Hampshire and Michigan.
By the end of the day, Trump will have held five events in five states in 12 hours.
At his first event in Sarasota, Florida, Trump urged the enthusiastic crowd of a few thousand to vote tomorrow to overcome the election he still claims is "rigged" against him.
“Well, you know what you can do is go out and vote tomorrow,” Trump said. “That's the only way. That's where you beat the rigging, folks. This is it, this is it. Good luck. Get out there. I did my thing, I mean, I worked yesterday."
Trump also acknowledged that Clinton is “doing fine,” but that he doesn’t know how.
"You know, the other day I read that Hillary Clinton called entertainers,” Trump said, referring to Clinton campaign surrogates like Beyoncé and Jay Z who performed at a concert supporting the Democrat on Friday in Cleveland.
“Nobody wants to go. I see she's doing fine, I'm doing fine in the polls and all that stuff," Trump said. "I don't know how, nobody goes to her rallies."
Clinton started her trip Monday in Pittsburgh where she attempted to appeal to the waning group of undecided voters.
“For those who are still making up your minds or thinking maybe it's not worth voting at all, let me just say the choice in this election could not be clearer,” said Clinton to a young crowd at the University of Pittsburgh. “It really is between division or unity. Between strong and steady leadership or a loose cannon.”
The Democratic nominee made an afternoon stop in Michigan before bringing out President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton Monday night in Philadelphia.
Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi are scheduled to perform at Hillary Clinton’s event, billed as her “closing argument.” She ends her night with a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The former secretary of state, who held a 47-43 point advantage in the most recent ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, sought to capitalize on Sunday’s news that the FBI’s latest review of Clinton-related emails did not result in evidence that would change its recommendation that no charges be filed against her.
Both candidates employed surrogates to hold solo events for each of them. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin scheduled four stops in Ohio for Trump.
Aside from the event with Clinton in Philadelphia, Barack Obama also appeared in Michigan and New Hampshire during the day.
