Former President Trump campaigned in North Carolina and Virginia on Saturday, with just three days until the election.

Trump made stops in Gastonia, North Carolina, and Salem, Virginia, before returning to North Carolina for a rally in Greensboro.

"We've been making the rounds today. We've done a number of these. I don't know how many people could do that. But you love it ... it is like a love, It's a crazy love we have for each other, it's crazy. But I'm thrilled to be back in this great, beautiful place," he said at his Greensboro rally.

Trump claimed at the rally that he will not lose North Carolina or Michigan.

"This is a very important state, and we have to get this up," he said. "We have to get you out. We're winning by a lot. But, you know, you can lose by a little. You know, when you're winning by a lot, you can still lose by a little. And we can't take a chance of losing the great state of North Carolina. We're not going to lose the great state of Michigan."

The former president also purported that the U.S. is an "occupied country."

"The United States is now an occupied country ... but it will soon be an occupied country no longer. On November 5th, 2024, it will be Liberation Day in America," he said

Vivek Ramaswamy crashed a MAGA party in the parking lot at Beaver Stadium before Penn State's loss to Ohio State Saturday.

Ramaswamy was cheered when he arrived at a tailgate event hosted by Real America's Voice.

Ramaswamy, an Ohio native, was greeted with trash talk by the local Penn State crowd but embraced any outcome of the game as "national unity." Ramaswamy got the last laugh when Ohio State won 20-13.

More important to the MAGA crowd was the state of former President Trump's re-election bid. Pennsylvania is a key swing state and arguably the most vital state on the electoral map this time around. Ramaswamy expressed optimism about Trump's chances based on early voting numbers.

"The early voting numbers are looking pretty good, but most of the people I've talked to haven't voted yet, our way," Ramaswamy said.

In 2020, Democrats led Republicans 70.9% to 20% in early voting in Pennsylvania. So far in the 2024 cycle, 56.9% of Democrats and 32.4% of Republicans have voted early.

President Biden won Pennsylvania in the 2020 election by just over 2%

Hundreds turned out to participate in the Woman's March in Massachusetts ahead of Election Day, in a strong show of support for Vice President Kamala Harris and abortion access.

People marched on Boston Common, holding signs that read, "We won't go back" and "Abortion is health care." Some men joined with them.

The women's march happened in Boston, as well as in Washington, D.C., and in Kansas City, Missouri.

Speakers urged people to vote in the election — highlighting that abortion is on the ballot in nine states.

"How many of you are going to vote on Tuesday? How many of you can’t wait to wake up to a woman president?" Rev. Dr. Deborah Haffner, of First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton, Massachusetts, asked.

Tracy Murphy told NBC 10 Boston that she organized the women's march because she wanted to give it her all no matter who wins.

"Today’s message is that we want everybody to vote," Murphy said.
