(NewsNation) — With election day less than 24 hour away, former President Donald Trump is making one final push to win over voters in battleground states.
It’s been four years since the former president lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, and since, he’s been traveling the country and speaking to voters in hopes of returning to the Oval Office in January.
Plus, it could be his last chance at becoming president a second time.
Election denial concerns rise as officials prep for polling threats
Trump’s last push ahead of election day
Trump will watch the election results on Tuesday from his Mar-a-Largo Estate in Florida; but before then, he will barnstorm battleground states over the next 24 hours.
Trump planned four rallies, beginning in Raleigh, North Carolina and stopping twice in Pennsylvania with events in Reading and Pittsburgh. The Republican nominee ends his campaign the way he ended the first two, with a late Monday night event in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Pennsylvania and Michigan are part of the “blue wall” states for Democrats, and Trump’s campaign hopes for a breakthrough.
North Carolina is also seen as a must win state for the former president, but it’s one where the polling shows an opportunity for Democrats to flip the traditionally Republican-leaning state.

Historic voter turnout
Over the weekend, Trump’s campaign made its final stretch, saying it’s pleased with voter turnout already. The campaign told NewsNation their internal data shows the Trump campaign is turning out more mid and low-propensity voters, who are people who only vote in presidential elections or have never voted before.
Trump spent the night in Georgia on Sunday, looking to build on the enthusiasm in the Peach State.
“You know we’re on the five-yard line, maybe even the one-yard line. We’re right there. We had a tremendous amount of early votes, records like no one can believe,” Trump said at his rally in Macon, Georgia.
He continued, “But all I can say is on Tuesday, just go out and vote. We’re gonna close this thing out and it’s gonna be party time.”
Republicans are betting on voter turnout, arguing enthusiasm is on their side.
About 77 million Americans already have voted early, but both candidates are pushing to turn out many millions more supporters on Tuesday. Either result on Election Day will yield a historic outcome.
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Whatley said the Trump campaign was feeling “bullish.”
A Trump victory would make him the first incoming president to have been indicted and convicted of a felony, after his hush-money trial in New York. He will gain the power to end other federal investigations pending against him. Trump would also become the second president in history to win non-consecutive White House terms, after Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century.
