Vice President Kamala Harris went door knocking in Reading, Pennsylvania, where she stopped by two homes to greet voters.
At the first home, Harris greeted a couple who had an adult son with the same name as her stepson, Cole. At the second home, Harris greeted a woman and her husband.
“It’s the day before the election, but I just wanted to come by and say I hope to earn your vote,” Harris told them.
The woman told Harris “you got my vote already,” adding that she will be working the polls tomorrow. She also explained that her husband will be voting for Harris on Election Day.
Reading is one of the five scheduled stops for Harris across Pennsylvania on Monday, ending in Philadelphia.
Strategy in final hours before Election Day: Harris and senior campaign staffers have directed staffers to keep their heads down and focus on mobilizing voters, according to a Harris adviser, capitalizing on what the campaign argues is momentum on their side.
Earlier Monday, Harris thanked volunteers at a canvassing event in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “What you all are signing up to do today, and what you’ve been doing, like let’s enjoy it,” she said.
“Let’s get out the vote,” Harris chanted before telling the crowd: “Let’s win.”
But while officials remain cautiously optimistic, they acknowledge it will be a close race — and a potentially lengthy process.
Remember what’s at stake: Pennsylvania is the most important battleground state of the 2024 election. Both Harris and Donald Trump have made the commonwealth’s 20 electoral votes central to their respective paths to victory. In 2016, Trump became the first Republican to win Pennsylvania since George H.W. Bush in 1988. In 2020, Joe Biden, a Pennsylvania native, flipped the state. According to AdImpact, Pennsylvania voters have seen nearly $300 million worth of presidential advertising – the most of any state in the nation.
