Both the Harris-Walz campaign and the Trump-Vance campaign held events in Georgia the day before Election Day.
After months of campaigning and more than a dozen visits to the state, Sen. J.D. Vance held the final Republican rally in Georgia on Monday evening.
His goal was to energize Republican supporters hours before Election Day.

“It’s great to be in the great city of Atlanta in the great state of Georgia, and tomorrow we’re going to make Donald Trump the next president of the United States, so it’s a good day,” Vance told hundreds of supporters in Cobb. District.
Georgia was a focus for both campaigns.
According to Axios, former President Trump has visited the state seven times for rallies since mid-July.
Vice President Harris visited six times.
Vance’s message to supporters was to not only go to the polls, but also try to attract other supporters to the polls.
“Go to the polls and ask nine of your friends and family to come with you,” Vance said.
The Harris campaign held a rally Monday evening at the Park Tavern restaurant in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park.
A DJ played music, Joy from Latin pop group Jessie & Joy performed live, as did the Morehouse College House of Funk Marching Band.
Most people who attended the event voted early, so the message was mainly for people to remind their family, friends and neighbors to go to the polls on Tuesday.
“It’s Atlanta, you know, we get excited about this stuff. So we are ready to vote for the first female president as well,” said Taj Hooper, the first-time voter.
At one point during the Park Tavern rally, organizers showed Harris speaking on large screens where she was attending a rally in Pennsylvania.
These types of breakout and voting events are typical of the closing days of a campaign.
After all the advertising and months of rallies, the focus is more on ensuring every supporter goes to the polls, and less on convincing a dwindling number of undecided voters.
