“We necessitate everyone in Pennsylvania to vote,” she shelp to an exuberant afternoon crowd in Allentown. “You are going to originate the separateence in this election.”
The polls have Harris essentiassociate tied in Pennsylvania with her Reaccessiblean rival, establisher Pdwellnt Donald Trump, who held one of his final rallies in Reading, Pennsylvania, only a confineed kilometres away from Harris.

Fat Joe reminded the Allentown rassociate that people can originate their senseings clear when they vote.
“My Latinos, where is your pride?” He asked.
