Trump says the start of his administration will be 'nasty a little bit'

At his third rally of the day, former President Donald Trump delivered his closing message to voters in Macon, Georgia.

"All I can say is, on Tuesday, just go out and vote, and we're going to close this thing out and it's going to be party time," Trump said, with two days to go until Election Day.

Planning a future second term in the White House, the former president said at the beginning of his administration, "It’ll be nasty a little."

"After all we have been through together, we stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history. You watch, it's going to be so good, it's going to be so much fun. It'll be nasty a little bit at times, and maybe at the beginning in particular, but it's going to be something, we're going to go to heights that this country never has reached, and nobody ever even thought it could," Trump said.

Harris thanks Win With Black Women for being the 'catalyst' of a movement

Vice President Kamala Harris briefly called into a Zoom meeting with Win With Black Women, a group that raised $1.5 million in three hours for Harris after President Biden announced he wouldn’t continue to run for reelection in July.

Harris thanked them for being the "catalyst" that helped to "organize, empower and mobilize" other fundraising groups.

"This coalition has been in my corner for the last four years, and just four months ago, immediately jumped into action with this weekly call to be the first group to organize tens of thousands of Black women in support of our brand new campaign. And I'm so thankful because you were the catalyst when others saw how the leaders on this call organized and empowered and mobilized, and they too said, 'Hey, we should do it.'"

Harris called in on the tarmac after her rally in East Lansing, Michigan, on Sunday, encouraging them to urge their communities to get out the vote.

Vance continues to harp on 'garbage' comments at New Hampshire rally

Sen. JD Vance held a rally in Derry, New Hampshire, on Sunday in the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election.

The vice presidential candidate's event in New Hampshire was the liveliest and most enthusiastic solo campaign event he has had since joining the Republican ticket, with people outside of the event who couldn’t get in due to space.

In his pitch to voters, Vance continued to remind people that President Joe Biden called Trump supporters "garbage," falsely claiming that Harris is also attacking Trump supporters.

"Here's my message to all of our fellow Americans: We know you're struggling, and we know that you deserve better leadership, but I will never and Donald J. Trump will never call our fellow citizens garbage. We are not garbage for thinking Kamala Harris has done a bad job," Vance said.

A senior campaign official told ABC News it's part of a strategy to close out the race in a "fully positive" manner.

"So, Michigan, I am here to ask for your vote," Harris said at the East Lansing rally, just two days before Election Day.

"And here is my pledge to you: As president, I pledge to seek common ground and common-sense solutions to the challenges you face," she added. "I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress."
