ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump made their final pitches to voters Monday in the same parts of Pennsylvania at roughly the same time, focusing on the state that could make or break their chances during the last full day of the presidential campaign.

In Pittsburgh, Trump delivered what his campaign aides described as his closing argument after his previous attempt a mass rally at Madison Square Garden in New York was derailed by crude and racist jokes. He has also veered off message with falsehoods about voter fraud and invocations of violence.

Over the past four years, Americans have suffered one catastrophic failure, betrayal and humiliation after another, said the Republican nominee, sounding raspy yet energetic after speaking for hours each day.

We do not have to settle for weakness, incompetence, decline and decay, he went on. With your vote tomorrow, we can fix every single problem our country faces and lead America, and indeed the whole world, to new heights of glory.

The crowd exploded in cheers when the Republican nominee said the country should tell Harris, Youre fired, his catchphrase from The Apprentice, the reality television show that made him a nationally recognized star.

Trump started Monday in North Carolina and hes scheduled to hold his last rally of the election in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he concluded his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

Harris, the Democratic nominee, is spending all of Monday in Pennsylvania, and she was en route to Pittsburgh while Trump was speaking there. Shes holding her final rally in Philadelphia later in the evening.

This is it, Harris said in Pittsburgh in front of the Carrie Furnaces, a historic steel facility that nodded to the citys industrial legacy. Tomorrow is Election Day and the momentum is on our side.

We must finish strong, she added. Make no mistake, we will win.
