In the midst of the ongoing fear, distrust, hope, and bluster, the months-long political campaigns of Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris reached a peak with only hours until the very crucial US presidential elections began.
In the closing hours of the election campaign, Trump made a last appeal to Michigan voters, while Kamala Harris, the Democratic opponent, sought to finish strong in Pennsylvania.
The thousands in attendance at Trump’s final rally in Grand Rapids were raucous, certain that he would win; some even claimed that a different outcome would indicate that the vote had been manipulated.
As Harris prepared to conduct a star-studded rally in Philadelphia with Lady Gaga and other celebrities, supporters expressed cautious optimism and fearful of another Trump term.
