Harris calls on voters to hit the polls on Election Day during Philadelphia rally

The Harris campaign's massive election eve rally on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Center City drew thousands of attendees Monday night.

Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker kicked off the event.

"We are all gathered here tonight, and 248 years ago to be exact, our democracy was born. Despite what we hear from that other guy, remember, we live in the greatest nation in the world," she told the crowd.

"I want to thank you all for being here and what you're doing for our commonwealth and country at this moment. All the work that's being done, all the doors being knocked on -- it's because of your work. And we appreciate that commitment to our country at this critical time," Casey said.

The event, which was right outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, was just as much a concert as it was a rally.

People came to see the star-studded lineup, including Lady Gaga, Oprah, The Roots, Jazmine Sullivan, Freeway and Just Blaze, DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ricky Martin, and Adam Blackstone.

To end the night off, Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage shortly after 11 p.m.

"It's good to be back," Harris told the cheering crowd as she walked on stage.

During her speech, Harris made a final push to get people out to vote on Election Day.

"We have one day to get this done, so now we need to get to work and get out to vote," she said. "We have so much more in common than what separates us. And let us remind everyone -- your vote is your voice, and your voice is your power."

"So tonight I ask you one last time, are you ready to make your voices heard?" she asked the crowd, who responded in cheers. "When we fight, we win!"

This event marked the final push ahead of Election Day for the Harris campaign to make its mark in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state.

JD Vance says Pennsylvania will 'take out the trash in Washington, DC'

Sen. JD Vance delivered his closing message to the voters of Newtown, Pennsylvania, on Monday, advocating for former President Donald Trump to be elected back to the White House.

Vance told the crowd that the only way the country would get a person who is fit to be president is by voting for Trump.

"So tomorrow, we're going to say to Kamala Harris, you are fired. We don't want you in the White House. We don't want you in the Oval Office, we don't want you anywhere near the halls of power," the vice presidential candidate said.

Vance again brought up the recent "garbage" comment controversy, falsely claiming Harris called Trump supporters "garbage."

"So, to Kamala Harris, you shouldn't be calling your citizens garbage. You shouldn't be criticizing people for daring to criticize you for doing a bad job. And our message to the leadership, to the elites of the Democratic Party -- the people of Pennsylvania are not garbage for struggling under your leadership. But tomorrow, the people of Pennsylvania are going to take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and we're going to do it together," Vance said.
