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.
