2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, Former US President and Republican presidential candidate:
“But we don’t have to settle for weakness and incompetence and decline and decay. That’s a nice word decay. That’s what’s happened. That’s a nice word decay. Can you imagine? And nobody will question it because it’s true. With your vote tomorrow we can fix every single problem our country faces and lead America to new heights and glory. Think of that statement. How beautiful that is. New heights of glory. That’s what’s going to happen when we win the election. And we really will. Look, the balls are in our hand. All we have to do is get out and vote tomorrow. You get out and vote, they can’t do anything about it. We win."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US presidential nominee:
“But I think I heard somebody say it’s like 900, maybe a little more than 900 rallies. And you know, rarely do they ever catch me making even a little mistake. I go through rally, after rally, 10, 20, 30. And then I say the wrong. They say he’s cognitively impaired. No, I let you know when that time happens. It could happen. But hopefully. Is that going to be for a long time.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, Former US President and Republican presidential candidate:
“But you’ve given your time, your money and your whole heart for this cause and your support means more than anything you can even understand. It’s amazing. I love you all. You’re very special. This is my last. My last rally. Can you believe that? The rallies, these big, beautiful rallies. There’s never been anything like it. And they never will be anything like it. And it’s just happened. It caught on, and I think it caught on because our country’s in trouble. And, you know, I happened to be a messenger that was able to tell you what you do, because most people understand it. Most people with common sense. We’re the party of common sense. They understand it. But this is all you need to know. I mean, Joe and Kamala broke it and I will fix it.”

STORYLINE:
Former US President Donald Trump promised Tuesday to "fix" America in his final campaign rally in Michigan ahead of the country’s election later in the day.
"Joe and Kamala broke it and I will fix it,” the Republican presidential nominee told a crowd in Grand Rapids.
Trump started the day in North Carolina and finished it in Michigan, but he spoke in Reading and Pittsburgh in between.
The former president delivered stemwinders at each stop, blending false claims about voter fraud with warnings about migrants committing crimes and promises to revitalize the United States.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ended her night in Philadelphia at the art museum steps made famous in the movie “Rocky,” where she said “the momentum is on our side.”
The vice president also rallied with supporters in Allentown, Scranton and Pittsburgh, and she swung through Reading to visit a Puerto Rican restaurant and do a little canvassing herself, knocking on doors alongside campaign volunteers.
The last day of campaigning was an appropriately frenetic ending to a presidential race that has defied expectations at every turn.
