What are the highlights of Election Day?
Hi, it's Steve Inskeep. And Michelle Martin. It's election day. Before we dive into the show, do I need to remind you of how exciting and exhausting this election has been?
Well, you get one more night of it, maybe a few. You can tune in for special coverage throughout this night on the NPR app in your local station. And we will be back here tomorrow and the next day and the next day if necessary, guiding you through it all with updates, reporting and analysis.
And as you continue to follow things here on Up First, we want you to know that there are two other ways to make sure you don't miss a development throughout the day.
Every weekday, you can find a new episode of the NPR Politics Podcast with context and analysis on the big stories whenever they happen. So you get an alert, big breaking news, don't know what to think. Look for the NPR Politics podcast a few hours later.
And consider this is the podcast where NPR covers one big story in depth every weekday evening. They will be all over this election. And as Steve said, the day after and the day after, if necessary.
You've got up first in the morning. Consider this in the evening, the NPR Politics podcast. And should we mention we're on the radio a lot as things develop anytime big stuff happens. And around the clock, election news survival kit from NPR News.
OK, thank you for listening. And now here's our show. Former President Trump gave what he called his final rally this morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Vice President Harris finished up in Philadelphia, referring to her opponent only as the other guy.
On this election day, I'm Michelle Martin with Steve Inskeep, and this is Up First from NPR News. Trump told his supporters they just have to finish the job.
All we were doing is putting ourselves in a position to win, which we can do tomorrow very easily if we show up.
Both candidates made stops in Pennsylvania and all of Harris's events were there.
Oh, it's good to be back in the city of brotherly love.
We'll take you there. Also, Israel formally ends its agreement with the United Nations Palestinian Relief Agency. What's the effect on ordinary people? Stay with us. You've got the news you need to start your day. Last month in Philadelphia, I went for a run. Ended up going up the rocky steps, the ones Sylvester Stallone's character runs up in triumph during the movie Rocky.
Generations after the movie came out, it is still an iconic spot, as Steve just told you. And that is where Vice President Harris chose to end her presidential campaign late last night.
And here at these famous steps, a tribute to those who start as the underdog and climb to victory.
Harris was speaking just before midnight. Former President Trump was in another swing state, Michigan, where he spoke in the early hours of the morning in Grand Rapids, the same place he finished his last two campaigns.
It's unbelievable. Think of it. This is it. This is the last one that we're going to have to do.
We've reached two NPR correspondents who've been following the campaigns all this time. We'll begin with political correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben. Danielle, good morning. Hey, good morning. Okay, so how did Trump close it out?
Well, as we just heard in that clip that you just played, Trump's been doing this thing lately where he's been getting kind of sentimental during his speech about all of this being over, all of this being the campaign, but especially his campaign rallies. He's done this a few times in recent weeks. He had a bit more to add in Grand Rapids late last night.
But here's the good news. All we were doing is putting ourselves in a position to win, which we can do tomorrow very easily if we show up.
Now, at these recent events, I will say he's been getting smaller crowds than he's gotten in the past. He didn't quite fill the Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee Friday night. Yesterday at an arena in Redding, Pennsylvania, it was about half full. That's where I was. He also didn't fill his arena in Raleigh yesterday either. Now, You can read that a couple of ways.
