Vice President Kamala Harris went door-knocking in Reading, Pennsylvania, stopping at two homes to greet voters.
At the first home, Harris greeted a couple who had an adult son with the same name as their son-in-law, Cole. At the villa, Harris met the woman and her husband.
“It’s the day before the election, but I’m just here to say I want to get your vote,” Harris said.
“You’ve already earned my vote,” the woman told Harris, adding that she planned to cast her vote tomorrow. She also explained that her husband plans to vote for Harris on Election Day.
Reading is one of five stops Harris is scheduled to make as she crosses Pennsylvania on Monday, ending in Philadelphia.
Strategy in the final hours before Election Day: Harris and campaign leaders told staff to use the campaign’s momentum to keep their heads down and focus on mobilizing voters, Harris’ advisers said. said.
Earlier Monday, Harris thanked volunteers at a recruiting event in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “It’s like, what you signed up to do today, what you’ve been doing, let’s enjoy it,” she said.
“Let’s vote,” Harris shouted and told the crowd, “Let’s win.”
But officials remain cautiously optimistic, although they acknowledge it will be a close race and the process could be lengthy.
“People are vacillating between holy smokes, who knows if we can win,” a person familiar with the developments told CNN. In a call with reporters on Monday, the Harris campaign offered its view on the timing of the election results, suggesting the campaign remains “calm and confident” as voting progresses.
Remember what is at issue. Pennsylvania is the most important battleground state in the 2024 election. Both Harris and Donald Trump have made the federal 20 electors central to their respective paths to victory. In 2016, Trump became the first Republican to win Pennsylvania since George H.W. Bush in 1988. In 2020, Joe Biden from Pennsylvania flipped the state. Pennsylvania voters saw about $300 million worth of presidential ads, the most of any state in the nation, according to AdImpact.
