WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (UPI) — It’s almost over. In a frantic final day of campaigning, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump plus their running mates and top surrogates are fanning out across the country Monday for one final push before Election Day.
Clinton has four events in four states: Trump has five events in five states.
Clinton begins the day with two solo events, one outside Pittsburgh at noon and the second at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich., at 2 p.m. From there she will head to the day’s premier event, a star-studded get-out-the-vote concert in Philadelphia, where she will share the stage with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. Bruce Springsteenand Jon Bon Jovi are set to perform and are expected to draw a large crowd, likely her largest of the campaign, at least since the Democratic National Convention. From there, the Clintons will travel to Raleigh N.C., for a midnight rally that is as much about providing local media in a crucial battleground with one last event to cover the next morning as it is rallying supporters who are willing to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to hear her speak — and in all likelihood have voted already.
Notably, Clinton will at no point Monday share a stage with her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, who has a busy last-day schedule of his own. Kaine will also hit events in Wilmington and Charlotte, N.C., before heading to his home state of Virginia for two final rallies.
As for Trump, he has scheduled a second consecutive day where his campaign will hit five states. He begins the day in Sarasota, Fla., before heading to Raleigh, N.C. He also was scheduled to appear at events at Lackawanna College in Scranton, Pa., in the mid-afternoon; at Southern New Hampshire University at 8 p.m. and a late-night affair in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Trump will be joined by his running mate Gov. Mike Pence for the final two events in New Hampshire and Michigan. Pence also has three solo events, in Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Michigan earlier in the day.
Both Clinton and Trump are expected to head home to New York — Trump to Manhattan, to Trump Tower, where he lives, and Clinton to her home in Chappaqua in Westchester County — before voting Tuesday. Both candidates have election night parties scheduled in New York City. Though often worlds apart during the campaign, Clinton and Trump will arrive at their electoral fate separated by only about 20 blocks. Trump’s party will be at the Midtown Hilton, while Clinton’s will be at the Javits Center on Manhattan’s west side.
