With the polls showing the presidential contest essentially deadlocked between two vastly different political visions, Trump and Harris were scrambling to drive home their message.
Though early voting has already smashed all records across the country, there is still everything to play for in cajoling undecided and unengaged voters to the polls on election day.
Trump began in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he took to a sports arena yesterday morning to deliver what is likely to be one of his last speeches as a presidential candidate.
In a 90-minute address dominated by his virulent stance on immigration, he announced that if elected he would impose a raft of tariffs on Mexico unless it stopped the passage of undocumented migrants across the southern border.
He threatened Claudia Sheinbaum, the recently elected Mexican president, that he would impose tariffs on all Mexican goods coming into the US.
"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" into the US, he said.
Trump was scheduled to stage four rallies by the end of the day. After Raleigh he was due to address two back-to-back rallies in the supremely important battleground of Pennsylvania, in Reading and Pittsburgh, before a late-night event in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
