In a dramatic closing argument at New York’s Madison Square Garden, former President Donald Trump made his case for re-election, spotlighting a controversial anti-immigration stance and pledging major economic reforms. The rally drew both enthusiastic supporters and strong opposition, reflecting the charged political atmosphere as Trump and his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, make their final appeals before the November 5 election.

Trump’s speech emphasized his vision of combating an “immigrant invasion” with a Day-One pledge to launch a large-scale deportation program. “The United States is an occupied country,” he stated, doubling down on his promise to prioritize border control. Outside the venue, protestors displayed messages critical of his policies, adding fuel to the already intense national debate.

Setting a clear contrast with Harris, Trump aimed to ignite his core base, focusing heavily on immigration and the economy, issues he believes will drive his supporters to the polls. “I’m here today with a message of hope for all Americans: With your vote in this election, I will end inflation, I will stop the invasion of criminals, and I will bring back the American dream,” Trump told the crowd.

Trump’s economic pitch included a plan to provide tax credits for family caregivers and bold promises to restore what he called “the greatest economy in the history of the world.” As rising costs for essentials like groceries weigh on many voters, Trump stressed that his administration could return the U.S. to prosperity.

Meanwhile, Harris continues her own campaign efforts with a focus on protecting democratic values and bolstering the economy. Her recent stops have included Philadelphia and Michigan, where she was joined by Michelle Obama in an appeal to women voters. Harris will deliver her closing speech on Tuesday at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., aiming to underscore her message of unity and her commitment to the rule of law.

With polls showing an extremely close race, both candidates are doubling down on key messages in the final days. Harris leads slightly at 48% in the CNN Poll of Polls, with Trump closely trailing at 47%, as battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona appear set to play a pivotal role in determining the election outcome.
