Former President Donald Trump rallied supporters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday night — one last time on the 2024 campaign trail — giving them a “simple” message before voters head to the polls on Tuesday.
Trump ripped Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration for failures at home and abroad, saying, “Over the past four years, Americans have suffered one catastrophic failure, betrayal, and humiliation after another.”
“My message to Americans tonight is simple: We do not have to live this way. We do not have to settle for weakness, incompetence, decline, and decay,” Trump said.

During the rally, he also slammed the Biden-Harris economy, saying, “We handed them something beautiful, and they blew it.”
The Republican nominee focused much of his rally on addressing the southern border crisis, doubling down on a promise he made in North Carolina earlier that his administration would place tariffs on Mexico until it curbs the flow of migrants to the U.S. He also reiterated his campaign promise to conduct the “largest deportation program of criminals in the history of our country.”
At one point, Trump was joined on stage by three of his children — Don Jr., Eric, and Tiffany — along with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, and his son-in-law, Michael Boulos. While on stage with his children, he thanked them for supporting him “from the beginning.”

Pennsylvania is considered by many to be the most important battleground state for both Trump and Harris. The vice president is closing out her campaign with a rally in Philadelphia on Monday night. Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, and The Roots are expected to join Harris for her final rally.

Trump, meanwhile, will close out his campaign in Grand Rapids, Michigan, another vital battleground state where he is polling neck-and-neck with Harris.
