On the final day of the US presidential campaign, former president Donald Trump hit three battleground states, according to CNN.

In his rally in North Carolina, Trump said he was visiting to urge people to “get out and vote,” adding: “If we get everybody out and vote there’s not a thing they can do.”

In Reading, Pennsylvania, he suggested rival Kamala Harris should be put “in the ring” with former heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson, while in Pittsburgh, the former president hailed a late endorsement from influential podcaster Joe Rogan.

Trump is scheduled to hold his final rally tonight in Grand Rapids, Michigan, CNN notes.

Vice-presidential candidate, Ohio senator JD Vance, also jetted around across the country to urge people to get out the vote. In La Crosse, Wisconsin, he criticised Harris’ work on immigration and in Flint, Michigan, he said leaders like Harris have “failed to do their job”.
