Down to the wire: Trump, Harris book sprint of stops across US in final days of 2024 election

There is just one full week left to get out the vote before the general election, and neither presidential candidate appears ready to leave anything on the table at this late stage in the race.

Both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as their campaign surrogates, have a jam-packed week ahead in the run up the election, with stops planned across the country and through key battleground states.

Trump, who rallied supporters at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday, will begin the work week in Atlanta, with a lunchtime visit to the National Faith Advisory Board’s Inaugural National Faith Summit, and an evening rally at Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion.

“Under the disastrous Harris-Biden administration, Georgians are being crushed by historic inflation,” Trump’s campaign said in announcing the evening event. “Even the costs of beloved Georgia staples have spiked—peaches are up 25% and Chick-fil-A meals have jumped 21%.”

The 45th President is scheduled to stop in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where, according to his campaign, he will make clear that “dangerously liberal Kamala Harris has let the people of Pennsylvania down with her failed policies.”

“As crime continues to impact families across Pennsylvania, Harris and her administration have done nothing to solve the crime wave; it’s no secret Kamala has long embraced the ‘defund-the-police’ movement,” Trump’s team wrote.

The former president will then head to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for a Wednesday evening rally at the Resch Center. That event will also focus on inflation, according to Trump’s campaign.

“Wisconsin families and retirees need a break. Under Kamala Harris, prices have risen by over 20% and real wages have declined. As Wisconsin seniors continue to see astonishing bills thanks to historic inflation, President Trump has real solutions for Americans living on fixed incomes,” they wrote.

Trump will spend Halloween in Nevada, where he will meet supporters for a rally in Henderson at Lee’s Family Forum. The afternoon event will focus on housing affordability.

“Kamala Harris’ failed economic agenda has made the American Dream of homeownership unreachable for Americans, especially our younger Americans. Under Kamala Harris, home prices have risen over 32 percent, interest rates reached their highest in over 20 years, and mortgage payments hit record highs,” Trump’s team wrote.

The former president will start November with a Friday rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he will again make clear who he feels is to blame for the high price of everything.

“Under the disastrous leadership of the Harris-Biden administration, southeastern Wisconsin is ready to ditch Kamalanomics. Wisconsinites are sick of paying eye-popping prices for everything – groceries, housing prices, and everything in between,” Trump’s staff wrote.

 

Harris, after Sunday stops in Philadelphia, will start the week with a pre-recorded appearance on former NFL tight end and TV personality Shannon Sharpe’s weekly podcast on Monday, and follow that with several stops in Michigan, one of which is a “campaign rally and concert” in Ann Arbor alongside singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers.

“This concert and rally is a part of a series of ‘When We Vote We Win’ events featuring recording artists focused on mobilizing voters in key battleground states to turn out the vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz, and Democrats across the states,” her campaign said of the event.

On Tuesday, Harris will be in Washington D.C. for a rally at the Ellipse — the place at which former President Donald Trump infamously held a rally on January 6, 2021, and stoked a crowd into a protest that eventually escalated into an assault on the U.S. Capitol, effectively ending centuries of peaceful transitions between U.S. presidential administrations for the first time in history.

Harris’ staff says she will use the Ellipse as backdrop while she delivers “a major closing argument address” and makes “the case that it is time to turn the page on Trump and chart a new way forward.”

The Vice President is scheduled to be in Madison, Wisconsin for another “When We Vote We Win” rally and concert on Wednesday, this time featuring the musical stylings of Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons, Remi Wolf, and The National’s Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner.

“The Harris-Walz campaign believes that by using their voices to lay out the stakes of this election, it will further encourage and mobilize people to go vote,” her team explained. “Most importantly, Wisconsinites should make their voices heard and vote early.”

On Thursday, Harris and Vice Presidential Nominee Tim Walz will be in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside seven-time Grammy winning band Los Tigres del Norte.

The Harris-Walz campaign has not yet published a schedule for Friday, November 1.

The General Election will be held on November 5, though early voting is well underway in dozens of states. To learn about your state’s voting procedures and check your registration, visit vote.org.
