What to know about the end of the 2024 campaign

  • CBS News' most recent polling analysis shows the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is still a toss-up in the seven battleground states.
  • After a whirlwind final weekend and day of campaigning, Election Day arrives Tuesday. 
  • More than 81 million Americans have already voted early.
  • Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania on Monday, with events in Allentown, Reading and Pittsburgh culminating in a star-studded concert and rally in Philadelphia.
  • Trump started his day in Raleigh, North Carolina, headed to Pennsylvania for rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh, and finished with a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan that started just after midnight on Election Day.

 

Trump reflects in his last rally of the campaign

Former President Donald Trump held his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he also concluded his campaigns in 2016 and 2020.

He savored the moment, stopping every few steps as he made his way to the stage, soaking in an explosion of applause. A few in the crowd waited nearly 18 hours, at times in the rain, for a rally that finally began after midnight and ended after 2 a.m.

"It's unbelievable," Trump said when he started talking after standing wordless at his lectern for an extended ovation. "Think of it. This is it. This is the last one that we'll have to do."

At one point, Trump asked the raucous crowd, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" The response was a resounding "no."

"November 5th, 2024 will be liberation day in America," Trump declared.

He spent a good deal of time addressing immigration, a key issue for his campaign along with the economy.

Among the speakers who opened for Trump were two Muslim mayors of cities in metro Detroit with large Arab American populations. Trump is hoping to capitalize on the unrest in metro Detroit, home to the nation's largest Arab American community that has been upset with the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

Harris holds rousing election eve rally in Philadelphia

Vice President Harris' final campaign stop was a rally at the steps of the Art Museum in Philadelphia Monday night -- the same steps made famous in the movie "Rocky."

A Harris campaign official told CBS News there were 30,000 people in the crowd.

"So Philadelphia, you ready to do this? Are we ready to vote? Are we ready to win? It's good to be back in the City Brotherly of Love," Harris said.

Harris brought out star power, with Lady Gaga, The Roots, Ricky Martin, Freeway, Oprah, Fat Joe and others taking the stage. 

In her speech, Harris urged supporters in attendance to have a plan to vote on Tuesday and to encourage loved ones to do the same. 

"We need everyone to vote in Pennsylvania," Harris said. "And you will decide the outcome of this election, Pennsylvania." 

Philadelphia was the site of Harris' first rally with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in August, at Temple's University Liacouras Center.

Both Harris and former President Donald Trump spent plenty of time in Pennsylvania during the campaign, since it's a key battleground state in the race for the White House.

Dixville Notch, New Hampshire winds up in 3-3 tie

In a presidential election that couldn't be closer, it seemed fitting that the first votes cast on Election Day were evenly split, with three for Kamala Harris and three for Donald Trump.

The tiny New Hampshire resort town of Dixville Notch has a tradition that dates back to 1960 of being the first in the nation to complete in-person voting.

After a rousing accordion version of the national anthem, the town's six voters began casting their ballots at the stroke of midnight, and the vote count was complete 15 minutes later.

Trump holds final Pittsburgh rally

Former President Donald Trump held his final rally in Pennsylvania on Monday night at the PPG arena in downtown Pittsburgh.

The former president spoke at length in the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, telling his supporters, "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 got to go and vote."

He criticized celebrities for endorsing Kamala Harris, saying, "We don't need a star because we have policy. We have great policy."

Trump again promised to start mass deportations, but said he did not want to do them and acknowledged "it's terrible to do." 

"I don't want to do that. I'm not looking to do that," Trump said. "I think it's terrible to do, but we have no choice."

The former president will close out the night with a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

 

Harris speaks in Pittsburgh on closing night of campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at the Carrie Blast Furnaces in the Pittsburgh area for one of her final campaign rallies.

Harris, who took the stage around 9 p.m. after being introduced by comedian Cedric the Entertainer, asked the crowd, "Pittsburgh, are we ready to do this? Are we ready to vote? Are we ready to win?"

"The momentum is on our side," Harris said, and spoke about Americans facing "a decade of politics driven by fear and division."

Harris spoke for about 13 minutes, discussing the importance of voting and how this election is about "a fight for the future and it is a fight for freedom." 

She also discussed reproductive rights, a major talking point of her campaign, promising to sign a bill protecting abortion access if one came across her desk as president.

Pop star Katy Perry took the stage after Harris' speech for a musical performance.

 

Security tightened at polling locations

Election defenses are up in Arizona as workers process and verify a flood of mail-in ballots arriving ahead of Election Day. Law enforcement is hoping to avoid a repeat of 2020, when election workers were harassed and supporters of then-President Donald Trump, some of whom were armed, surrounded the vote counting facility in downtown Phoenix after polls closed.

The National Guard is on standby alert in Nevada, and at least six other states, including Arizona and North Carolina, have activated Guard troops.

In Washington, D.C., businesses have begun boarding up and extra security fencing is being added outside the White House and vice president's home.

Federal officials warn of election interference from Russia, others in the days and weeks ahead

Federal officials warned Monday night that foreign interests have stepped up their influence campaigns related to the election, and said the intelligence community expected those efforts to intensify. Federal officials have warned repeatedly in recent weeks of election interference from Iran, China and Russia.

In a joint statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, officials said they have seen "foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, conducting additional influence operations intended to undermine public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and stoke divisions among Americans."

Those efforts are expected to focus on swing states, according to the statement.

"Russia is the most active threat. Influence actors linked to Russia in particular are manufacturing videos and creating fake articles to undermine the legitimacy of the election, instill fear in voters regarding the election process, and suggest Americans are using violence against each other due to political preferences, judging from information available to the IC," according to the statements. "These efforts risk inciting violence, including against election officials. We anticipate Russian actors will release additional manufactured content with these themes through election day and in the days and weeks after polls close."

The statement cites recent efforts linked to Russian influence actors that falsely claim officials will orchestrate election fraud and a video that falsely claimed election fraud in Arizona involving overseas ballots and changing voter rolls to favor Harris.

Officials also said "Iran has conducted malicious cyber activities to compromise former President Trump's campaign. Iranian influence actors may also seek to create fake media content intended to suppress voting or stoke violence, as they have done in past election cycles."

 

Trump vows his second term "will be the golden age of America"

Former President Donald Trump vowed that if he's reelected, groceries will be cheaper, paychecks will be higher and cities will be cleaner and safer. 

"This will be the golden age of America," he said at his campaign rally in Pittsburgh on Monday night.

He also referred to his following as "the greatest political movement by far in the history of our countries." 

In remarks that the Trump campaign described as his closing message, the former president called Vice President Kamala Harris "the worst vice president in history," offered commentary on her crowd sizes and Beyoncé's recent appearance with Harris, and accused the media of lying about how close the race is.

State election officials remind that "operational issues may arise" that delay vote count

Two organizations that represent election officials throughout the U.S. reminded voters Monday that "operational issues may arise" on Election Day that could delay vote counting. 

The National Association of Secretaries of State and National Association of State Election Directors said voting locations could be open late, there could be long lines or a location could lose power. 

"These are inevitable challenges that will arise on Election Day, but election officials have contin­gency plans for these and other scenarios. Americans can have confidence the election is secure, and the results will be counted accurately," the organizations said in a statement. 

They also reminded that "election night results are always unofficial" and "accurately counting millions of ballots takes time and it is important to be patient." 

"Some races will be close and may require a recount or a recanvass," they said. "Many election officials will also con­duct audits to verify the accuracy of the results. We implore all Americans to understand these pro­cesses are normal and done in accordance with state and territorial law."

Trump to deliver closing message in Pittsburgh

Former President Donald Trump is expected to deliver his closing message during his Pittsburgh rally on Monday night. 

"Over the past four years, Americans have suffered one catastrophic failure, betrayal and humiliation after another. Kamala Harris has delivered soaring prices and economic anguish at home, war and chaos abroad and a nation-destroying invasion on our southern border. There has never been anything like it in world history," Trump is expected to say, according to excerpts of his speech. 

"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," the excerpts say. "With your vote tomorrow, we can fix every single problem our country faces — and lead America, and indeed the world, to new heights of glory." 

Trump is also expected to invoke the first assassination attempt against his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. 

"Just a few months ago, in a beautiful field in Pennsylvania, not far from where we are tonight, an assassin tried to stop our movement. But that brush with death did not stop us — it only made us more determined to finish the job that we had only just started," he is expected to say. "Many people say that God saved me in order to Save America — and with your help, we will fulfill that mission together."

Georgia poll worker arrested for alleged bomb threat to elections officials

A poll worker in Georgia was arrested Monday for allegedly threatening poll workers and allegedly making a fake bomb threat, according to the Justice Department. 

Nicholas Wimbish, 25, is accused of mailing a letter to Jones County election officials claiming to be from a voter with whom he allegedly had a verbal altercation last month. 

The letter warned that Wimbish and others "should look over their shoulder" and threatened "rage rape." It concluded, "PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe." 

The Justice Department said Wimbish is charged with mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter and making false statements to the FBI. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.

Trump leans into immigration in last-minute appeal to Pennsylvania voters

Trump leaned into immigration while campaigning in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Monday, telling rally-goers that on his first day in office he "will launch the largest deportation program of criminals in American history. We're going to get them out." 

He also called on Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, to make remarks. Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five, was allegedly killed by a man from El Salvador. 

Patty Morin described her daughter as "a tiny little spitfire" who loved her children. 

Trump has repeatedly invoked Rachel Morin's story at his rallies. He warned that her story is "a tragic warning of what will come to every city in America."

Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes may continue, Pennsylvania judge rules

A Pennsylvania judge ruled late Monday that billionaire Elon Musk's political action committee's $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes may continue through Election Day. 

Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta didn't offer a thorough reasoning for the ruling. But Musk's attorneys argued Monday that the winners are not chosen by random, but are instead paid spokespeople, but are preselected, paid spokespeople.

GOP lawyer Chris Gober said the "winners" of the giveaway are chosen based on their personal stories, and they sign a contract with America PAC to serve as a spokesperson.

"The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance," Gober said Monday. "We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow."

RFK Jr. reiterates that voters should not vote for him

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is on the ballot in more than half of the states, reiterated his request for voters to support former President Donald Trump on the ballot instead of him. 

"No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump," Kennedy said in a 3-minute video he posted Monday on social media. "As you know, this could be a very close election. A disputed election result would be a disaster for our divided nation. President Trump needs to win in a landslide, both in the Electoral College and in the popular vote. He can't do that unless my supporters join him." 

Kennedy, an independent candidate, dropped his longshot presidential bid in August and endorsed Trump. At the time, he said he would seek to remove his name from the ballot in 10 states that his campaign considered competitive. He told voters in noncompetitive states that they could still vote for him without harming Trump's chances of winning. Since then, he has asked many more states to remove his name from the ballot and has encouraged all of his supporters to vote for Trump. 

He lost his battle to withdraw his candidacy in Wisconsin and Michigan — two of the closest battleground states.

"Make no mistake — we will win," Harris says in Pennsylvania

Speaking in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Harris struck an optimistic tone.

Walz says if Trump loses, "we're not ever going to have to see this guy on TV again"

During remarks at a campaign rally in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Walz criticized Trump as "the other guy" and told supporters that there are significant reasons not to back his Republican opponents in the presidential contest.

"There are plenty of reasons that we don't want the other guy and I could go in for weeks to say it, many of them … some of them are deathly serious," he said. "But just tell me the contrast here of how great this feels: We're going to elect a new generation of leadership with Kamala Harris, a new way forward."

Walz contrasted the message from Harris during a speech last week at the Ellipse outside the White House with "that other stuff you saw in New York City," a reference to the former president's campaign rally in Madison Square Garden.

"Just tell yourself how great it's going to be, we get this thing done, it might take a little bit here, we've got patience, our system's secure, our elections are safe, we'll get this right, we will win and when that thing is done, we're not ever going to have to see this guy on TV again and listen to him," Walz said.

The Minnesota governor said Republicans "stole something from us that Kamala Harris brought back: Joy."

He urged those in the crowd to encourage others to vote.

"The rule of law must win and the Constitution stands above any d**n man that they want to plaster his face on a flag," he said.

RNC sues Milwaukee Election Commission, claims limit on poll watchers

The Republican National Committee sued the agency that oversees elections in Wisconsin's largest city Monday, claiming it "arbitrarily" limited the number of poll watchers at voting precincts.

The suit claims the Milwaukee Elections Commission has limited poll watchers one Republican and one Democrat on Election Day, but hasn't announced which locations will be subject to that limitation.

"Under Wisconsin law, members of the public have a right to observe the public aspects of the voting process at polling locations on Election Day," the committee said in its suit.

Speaking in Flint, Michigan, Vance encouraged supporters to get out there and vote "10 times" but legally — by bringing nine friends or family members to the polls with them. 

"Here's the thing, as I understand it, early voting is over in the great state of Michigan, so we're gonna get out there tomorrow and take every single person you know," Vance said. "We're gonna get out there tomorrow, Michigan, and vote every single one of us, 10 times. That's what I want you to do. The state of Michigan. No, I mean the legal way, the media. We don't want the Detroit Free Press to write that I came to Flint, Michigan and encouraged voter fraud."

Megyn Kelly to join Trump at Pittsburgh rally

Former Fox News host and conservative commentator Megyn Kelly revealed on her show that she is set to appear on the campaign trail with Trump on the eve of the election at his rally in Pittsburgh.

Kelly said Trump's campaign reached out and asked her to speak at the rally in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, and she agreed to do so.

"Tonight after the show, I'll be heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I will appear with Trump at his last Pennsylvania rally before the vote and I will proudly explain to that audience and beyond why I think it's absolutely essential that he win this election and that we not put Kamala Harris into the Oval Office as president," she said.

Kelly urged Trump after his campaign rally at Madison Square Garden to "clean up the bro talk" to avoid driving away women. She called the event "too bro-tastic" and warned Trump that he is "hemorrhaging" female voters.

Democratic nominee Gov. Tim Walz, speaking in Wisconsin, offered his vote of confidence in the nation's election infrastructure. 

Walz said the U.S. has the "fairest, the most secure elections in the world."

Nearly 3.2 million people have already cast their ballots via mail or voted in-person early in Michigan, Benson said, representing 44% of active registered voters. She said enthusiasm for early voting was "above and beyond anything we expected."

Benson highlighted that women cast 55% of the ballots submitted so far in the state, noting that young people have been engaged as well, with 12.5% of votes cast so far being from voters between 18 and 30 years old.

How Republican women could impact the 2024 presidential race

How the gender gap could impact the presidential race in Pennsylvania 02:42

The tightly contested 2024 presidential election could be defined by the gender gap with Vice President Kamala Harris polling better among women, according to a CBS News poll from late October. 

Recent CBS News polling shows the race between Harris and former President Donald Trump is a toss-up in seven battleground states as more than 78 million Americans have already voted ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.

Harris is counting on suburban women to help her win the presidential election. She received unexpected help from some longtime Republicans with the Women4U.S. group, an organization aimed at outreach to conservative women. 

Stephanie Sharp, a co-founder of the organization, is a self-proclaimed lifelong conservative. This year though, Sharp is urging fellow Republican women to vote for Harris.

"We'll send Donald Trump packing, and then we can begin to have conversations again that are productive and have compromise on issues that are important to all of us," Sharp said.

Trump attacks Michelle Obama after criticisms on campaign trail: "Am I allowed to hit her now?"

Trump claimed during his rally that President Biden likes him more than Harris, and attacked former first lady Micehlle Obama for criticizing him on the campaign trail.

"Michelle hit me the other day. I was so nice to her, out of respect, I was so nice. She hit me the other day," Trump told the crowd at his rally in Raleigh. "I was going to say to my people, 'am I allowed to hit her now?' They said, 'take it easy, sir.'"

The former president said his advisers told him to "relax" because he is winning the election, but he asked the "ladies from North Carolina" whether that was good advice.

"Hit back or just relax?" he asked the crowd. "I'd love to hit back but we'll hold it a little while."

The comments came after Trump said during a campaign rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, on Sunday that, "I think we're going to start having a little fun with Michelle." The former president said the former first lady, who has been campaigning for Harris, "came at me the other day."

Trump says he will impose tariff on Mexico if "onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country" doesn't stop

Speaking at a campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Trump said he would impose a 25% tariff on Mexico unless the country's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, stops illegal immigration over the U.S.-Mexico border. 

"I'm going to inform her on day one or sooner that if they don't stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I'm going to immediately impose a 25% tariff on everything they send in to the United States of America," Trump said, adding that the plan has a "100% chance of working."

The former president said he would raise the tariff to 50% or higher if the initial tariff doesn't work. 

During his administration, Trump repeatedly threatened Mexico with tariffs. On Monday, he said Mexico has become the nation's top trading partner under the Biden administration, claiming they're "ripping us off left and right."

Trump says race is "ours to lose" at campaign in North Carolina

Trump said "we're way leading" on the eve of Election Day at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, claiming he's ahead in "every swing state."

"It's ours to lose," Trump said, noting that he hates the expression. "If we get everybody out and vote, there's not a thing they can do."

The former president called Democrats a "horrendously dangerous party" that will "destroy our country," as he asked the crowd whether they feel better off now than they were four years ago. And he reflected on the end of the campaign — and the next chapter. 

"This is really the end of a journey but a new one will be starting," Trump said. "Which is basically to make America great again."

At Trump's rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday, he hit some darker notes — including saying that he "shouldn't have left" in 2020 after losing and saying he wouldn't mind if someone shot through the press area

Georgia Secretary of State says most votes will be counted by an hour after polls close Tuesday

The official who oversees elections in Georgia said Monday that 70% of the state's votes will be counted by an hour after polls close in the crucial swing state.

"We're going to have a free, fair and fast election," said Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

He said an historic number of people in the state have voted early, or via absentee ballot, meaning those votes will be "ready for tabulation" quickly.

Georgia was the scene of a furious effort in 2020 to overturn the state's election results, and Raffensperger preemptively hit back at people who might seek to undermine Tuesday's results

"In the next few days. You may see some extra drama from fringe activists. They're certainly dramatic, aren't they?" Raffensperger said. "Whatever they say or do. We know this to be true here in Georgia. It is easy to vote and hard to cheat. Our systems are secure and our people are ready.

Russia behind fabricated video falsely claiming Harris received a bribe from performer Sean Combs, officials say

A Russian disinformation group is behind a false claim that Sean "Diddy" Combs paid Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff $500,000 to warn him of police raids on his homes, according to U.S. intelligence agencies and researchers.

The U.S. government issued the statement on Nov. 1 as officials warned that Russian influence actors were also behind a video that claimed Haitians illegally voted in Georgia.

The bribe claim, initially published on Oct. 30 by Patriot Voice News, a website linked to a Russian influence group, was spread on social media by a now-suspended X account, according to Darren Linvill, co-director of the Media Forensics Hub at Clemson University.

Linvill said the videos were likely produced by the Russian influence group known as Storm-1516, which recently released other videos with false claims about Harris, her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and voter fraud claims in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Experts outline U.S. election security in final stretch

Here's what to know about election security 05:23

The U.S. is monitoring overseas efforts to tamper with American democracy, with the emergence of two new fake videos online that claim to be from the FBI — one about election security and another about second gentleman Doug Emhoff. Four videos have now been flagged by government officials as misinformation.

CBS News contributor Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, addressed the efforts on "CBS Mornings." Krebs outlined that in 2016, "Russians were much more engaged" on platforms with fake personas that were directly sending messages to Americans, while in this election, he said the focus has been on putting content onto platforms where Americans are sharing the videos.  

"So they've evolved their tactics, they're getting a wider reach, but they're also attacking the seams in content moderation," Krebs said. 

Meanwhile, David Becker, the executive director of the Center of Election Innovation & Research and a CBS News contributor, outlined that in terms of voting security, the U.S. has already seen over half of the turnout in 2020 overall, and "what we've seen is very few problems."

"Almost all of the voting has gone smoothly, it's gone safely, it's gone securely," Becker said.

Trump made false claim about voter fraud in York and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania

Trump on Sunday repeated a false claim that officials in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, found 2,600 fraudulent ballots written by the same person, and the claim was reposted by X owner Elon Musk. 

Trump referenced a review of about 2,500 voter registration applications flagged for potential fraud in Lancaster County. Preliminary findings indicate that detectives identified hundreds of fraudulent applications and hundreds more that they were unable to verify. 

The applications were connected to a large canvassing effort to register voters, officials said. As of Nov. 4, no suspects have been identified. Voter registration forms are not the same as ballots, and the forms were identified before processing, officials said. 

In a post on X responding to Musk's post, CBS News election law contributor David Becker said of the claim: "This is 100% false. They did not find 2600 'ballots' — not even close. They caught ~2500 voter registration applications BEFORE processing them, meaning they protected election integrity. The system worked, and voting is secure, thanks to the diligence of election officials in PA."

What voters should and shouldn't expect on Election Day

There will be some breakdowns, mistakes and disinformation this year, but none of that should be confused with election-altering fraud, CBS News election law contributor David Becker told "60 Minutes."

Come Election Day, voters shouldn't expect to get results quickly in many races. 

"Definitely don't expect to know who controls the United States House of Representatives. There are a lot of very close races, even in places like California, that will take days or maybe even weeks to resolve. The Senate we might know a little bit sooner, but unclear," Becker said. "We probably will have a pretty good idea who won the presidency maybe around Thursday or Friday."

Harris SNL spot draws rebuke from an FCC commissioner

After Harris appeared in a skit on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," Republican FCC Commissioner Brandon Carr said in a social media post on X it was "a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC's Equal Time rule."

In the sketch with Maya Rudolph, Harris played herself as Rudolph was also portraying Harris.

Trump: "I don't mind" if someone had to shoot through media

 Former President Donald Trump said during a rally on Sunday that he wouldn't mind if someone tried to shoot through the group of reporters covering the event, as he complained that the bulletproof glass positioned around him was "ridiculous."

"I have a piece of glass over here, and I don't have a piece of glass there. And I have this piece of glass here, but all we have really over here is the fake news," Trump said, pointing to the glass positioned between him and the head-on riser where the press was located. "And to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don't mind that so much. I don't mind that."

He repeatedly mocked news reporters throughout the rally, calling the media "bloodsuckers." 

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement afterward that Trump was trying to protect the media.

Harris addresses war in Gaza during East Lansing rally

At a Sunday campaign rally in East Lansing, Michigan, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the war in Gaza at the top of her speech.

"We are joined today by leaders of the Arab American community, which has deep and proud roots here in Michigan. And I want to say this year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon, it is devastating," Harris said. 

"As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza, to bring home the hostages, end the suffering in Gaza, ensure Israel is secure and ensure the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, security and self-determination," she added.

Harris said she would also work to find a "diplomatic resolution across the Israel-Lebanon border to protect civilians and provide lasting stability."

After her comments about the war, Harris stuck to her usual stump speech. Her lines on reproductive rights garnered the most applause and cheers from the crowd, which was filled with younger voters.
