On the final day of the election campaign, Republican presidential nominee and former US president Donald Trump ascended the stage in Raleigh, North Carolina amid roaring applause and announced that the presidential race is "ours to lose”.

On the final day of the election campaign, Republican presidential nominee and former US president Donald Trump ascended the stage in Raleigh, North Carolina amid roaring applause and announced that the presidential race is "ours to lose”. The presidential nominee sounded a little hoarse but was full of vigour when he appealed to his supporters to help him close this election cycle with a victory in the elections. “Hopefully everything will work out well, we’re way leading, all we have to do is close it out. If we get everybody out and vote there’s not a thing they can do," said Trump. The Republican presidential nominee started his final rally in the battleground state with discussions about the elections, in which he claimed that he was leading. He said that he decided to visit North Carolina on the eve of the election to appeal to residents to vote. “Here’s my only purpose in even being here today: Get out and vote,” said Trump.

Hailing his relation with Puerto Rico, two weeks after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called it as a “floating island of garbage" in his rally, Trump said, “I mean Puerto Rico is great. We helped Puerto Rico more than anybody." Trump recalls ‘Access Hollywood’ video Speaking at the event, Trump made reference to the video which had almost turned his 2016 campaign into a failure. “See, I’ve gotten much better. Years ago I would have said something else. But I’ve learned. I would have been a little bit more risqué," said Trump as the crowd broke out in laughter in Raleigh, North Carolina.

US Elections: Trump and Harris to make final contrasting pitches in key battleground states day before polls

As of now, approximately 75 million Americans have already cast their early ballots for the 2024 elections, reflecting a significant increase in voter participation compared to previous cycles. This surge in early voting is indicative of heightened enthusiasm and engagement among the electorate, as many individuals seek to make their voices heard ahead of Election Day. The trend highlights the importance of accessibility and convenience in the voting process, as citizens take advantage of early voting options to ensure their participation in this pivotal election.

US Election 2024: 75 Million People Have Cast Early Ballots

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidxTiqGMXlr0HP" /></p>

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidxTiqGMXlr0HP" />Ahead of US Presidential election, celebrity endorsements became a key talking point in the race.</p>

<p>Democrat&nbsp;Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump attracted high-profile supporters, and the contrast in their celebrity backing highlights the cultural divides within American politics.</p>

<p>Kamala Harris garnered the support of a star-studded roster, including pop icons like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Endorsements by these celebrities, who command large social media following&nbsp;and have significant cultural influence, may resonate with younger voters who might play a big role in this election and also&nbsp;those seeking progressive change.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Artists like Swift have personally articulated their endorsement, emphasising leadership qualities and a commitment to social issues, from women's rights to climate action.</p>

<p>In stark contrast, Donald Trump is backed by a different set of celebrities, including tech mogul Elon Musk, country-rocker Kid Rock, and wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While his supporters may not have the same broad appeal in mainstream culture, they are deeply connected to Trump's base, appealing to a demographic that values strong, often provocative personalities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Musk's transition from a Democratic supporter to a vocal advocate for Trump underscores the shifting political landscape, highlighting how celebrity endorsements can also reflect personal and ideological transformations.</p>

<p><strong>Can celebrity endorsements sway voters?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>According to recent polls, a minority of Americans report that celebrity endorsements have influenced their political views or decisions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This scepticism indicates that while celebrities can bring attention to issues and energise specific voter blocs, their overall impact on the electorate might be limited.</p>

<p>Historically, the Democratic Party has leveraged celebrity power effectively, using it to mobilise support and draw attention to critical issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, as seen in the 2016 election with Hillary Clinton, having star power does not guarantee electoral success.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump's appeal often lies in his ability to connect with voters through his populist rhetoric and strong messaging, which resonates with his supporters regardless of celebrity endorsements.</p>

<p>As the election draws closer, both candidates will undoubtedly continue to leverage their celebrity supporters to amplify their messages.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For Harris, the backing of cultural icons may help paint a vision of a more inclusive, progressive future. For Trump, the endorsements from figures who represent strength and resilience appeal to his base's desire for a return to perceived American greatness.</p>

Ahead of US Presidential election, celebrity endorsements became a key talking point in the race. Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump attracted high-profile supporters, and the contrast in their celebrity backing highlights the cultural divides within American politics. Kamala Harris garnered the support of a star-studded roster, including pop icons like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen. Endorsements by these celebrities, who command large social media following and have significant cultural influence, may resonate with younger voters who might play a big role in this election and also those seeking progressive change. Also read: After Lady Gaga, Katy Perry to perform for Kamala Harris on election eve Artists like Swift have personally articulated their endorsement, emphasising leadership qualities and a commitment to social issues, from women's rights to climate action. In stark contrast, Donald Trump is backed by a different set of celebrities, including tech mogul Elon Musk, country-rocker Kid Rock, and wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. While his supporters may not have the same broad appeal in mainstream culture, they are deeply connected to Trump's base, appealing to a demographic that values strong, often provocative personalities. Musk's transition from a Democratic supporter to a vocal advocate for Trump underscores the shifting political landscape, highlighting how celebrity endorsements can also reflect personal and ideological transformations. Watch | Is Donald Trump or Kamala Harris Better for the Economy? × Can celebrity endorsements sway voters? According to recent polls, a minority of Americans report that celebrity endorsements have influenced their political views or decisions. This scepticism indicates that while celebrities can bring attention to issues and energise specific voter blocs, their overall impact on the electorate might be limited. Historically, the Democratic Party has leveraged celebrity power effectively, using it to mobilise support and draw attention to critical issues. However, as seen in the 2016 election with Hillary Clinton, having star power does not guarantee electoral success. Trump's appeal often lies in his ability to connect with voters through his populist rhetoric and strong messaging, which resonates with his supporters regardless of celebrity endorsements. As the election draws closer, both candidates will undoubtedly continue to leverage their celebrity supporters to amplify their messages. For Harris, the backing of cultural icons may help paint a vision of a more inclusive, progressive future. For Trump, the endorsements from figures who represent strength and resilience appeal to his base's desire for a return to perceived American greatness. Ultimately, the influence of these endorsements will be tested at the ballot box. As voters weigh their options, the question remains: will celebrity support translate into votes, or will it be overshadowed by deeper ideological divides? The answer will shape the outcome of this pivotal election.

US Elections 2024: NY author brutally assaults man wearing ‘Trump 2024 hat’ in supermarket

<p>Donald Trump was at the stage in Greensboro, North Carolina, boasting how his rallies are one of the “biggest in history”, with “absolutely not empty seats.” A cameraperson attending the event live decided to do a quick on-the-spot-checking by simply shifting the camera pan and showing empty seats in the hall.</p>

<p>This happened live, as Trump was boating about his people-packed rallies, with a “Trump will fix it” banner in the backdrop.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump confidently declared at the rally, “We have had the biggest rallies in history, and every rally is full. There are no empty seats.” This line has become a familiar refrain for him and his campaign, who often brush off claims that attendees leave his events early. “You do not have any seats that are empty. You didn’t have anything,” he repeated for emphasis.</p>
