Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump make closing arguments in five states on Monday
After a busy weekend spent campaigning in swing states, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have similarly full schedules on Monday, the last full day of campaigning before Election Day. Clinton is scheduled to attend campaign events in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Pittsburgh; she'll end the day at a rally in Philadelphia with President Obama and Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen. Trump, who held rallies in five states Sunday afternoon, ending with a midnight rally in Virginia, plans to spend Monday in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire.
Clinton, at her rallies and in a USA Today op-ed published Sunday night, is putting forward an optimistic foot, urging voters to choose unity over Trump's division. Trump, at his rallies and in a dueling USA Today op-ed, said that he is America's last hope on immigration, trade, and security.
Clinton ended her last campaign stop on Sunday in New Hampshire with Khizr Khan, the father of a slain U.S. Army captain, and James Taylor. "This election is a moment of reckoning," Clinton said at the rally, in Manchester. "It's a choice between division and unity.... What's really on the ballot is what kind of country we want for our children and grandchildren." Trump was introduced by Ted Nugent in Michigan, and former Sen. Rick Santorum in Virginia, where he was also joined by Jerry Falwell Jr. and Iran-Contra scandal survivor Oliver North. "We are going to have one of the great victories of all time," he said at a barn in Virginia. He is scheduled to make a final swing through Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, and New Hampshire on Tuesday.
