The Brief:

  • Trump campaigned vigorously in Pennsylvania, targeting Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and suggesting college athletes wrestle migrants at his rallies.
  • He emphasized the critical need for voter turnout, with strategic appearances in battleground states including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Michigan.
  • Megyn Kelly joined Trump on stage, endorsing him as a “protector of women,” marking a surprising reconciliation following their past contentious debate exchange.

In an energetic close to his campaign efforts in Pennsylvania, former President Trump hit the stage with fervor, aiming his critiques at Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and playfully suggesting that college athletes should wrestle migrants, amidst other remarks during his two rallies on Monday. In a bid to secure the battleground state, Trump emphasized the importance of voter turnout, stating to his Pittsburgh audience, “We’re certainly on the two- or three-yard line, and the only way we can blow it is if you blow it. I’ve given you the ball. I mean, you’ve got to go and vote.”

The day before Election Day saw Trump vigorously campaigning with four rallies across key states: one in North Carolina, two in Pennsylvania, and a final rally scheduled in Michigan for late Monday. His appearances in Reading and Pittsburgh were particularly strategic, aimed at firing up support in Pennsylvania—a state analysts consider critical for tipping the election scales.

A neck-and-neck race between Trump and Vice President Harris in Pennsylvania was highlighted by polls from Decision Desk HQ/The Hill, showing both candidates virtually tied as Harris dedicated her day to campaigning within the state. During his Pittsburgh rally, Trump repeated earlier criticisms about migration challenges at the southern border and proposed heavy tariffs on foreign imports while also making unfounded allegations about election misconduct in swing states.

In a controversial comment that sparked conversation, Trump expressed a desire to see college wrestlers from Penn State take on migrants in a wrestling match—a suggestion he credited to discussions with UFC president Dana White. Additionally, Trump did not hold back against Schiff, who is vying for a Senate seat in California’s upcoming election, labeling him “evil” and “scum.” He also expressed admiration for Jill Stein of the Green Party—seen by some as a potential detriment to the Harris campaign—calling her “one of my favorite politicians.”

A surprising moment occurred when Megyn Kelly joined Trump on stage—a significant shift from their contentious exchange during a 2015 GOP primary debate where Kelly had challenged Trump on his past comments about women. Following those events, Trump had launched personal attacks against Kelly. However, this time around Kelly endorsed Trump as a “protector of women,” explaining her support for his candidacy.

This whirlwind of rallies underscored Trump’s final push to galvanize support in Pennsylvania—an effort marked by direct attacks on political opponents and unconventional proposals that kept audiences engaged up until Election Day’s eve.
