“I don’t have to tell them that there’ll be no violence. Of course, there’ll be no violence,” Trump said. “My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that, and I certainly don’t want any violence … these are great people. These are people that believe in no violence.”

This year’s race is set to be another nail-biter, and Pennsylvania is the most likely state to decide the result again. So should we expect to see a repeat of that debacle?

The short answer is: Maybe.

Watch live as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his wife Melania are expected to cast their vote in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday, 5 November.

The former US president was pictured wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat as he entered the polling station.

The Republican former president chose to close out his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with personal attacks on Harris, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and their fellow California Democrat Adam Schiff, as well as his own former White House chief of staff General John Kelly, who recently labelled him a “fascist”.

The Democrat was joined in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin and The Roots while Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera supported her in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas, respectively.

Vice President Kamala Harris called into an Atlanta radio station on Tuesday to urge Georgia voters to get out and vote.

“We’ve got to get it done. Today is voting day and people need to get out and be active,” she told listeners of V-103’s The Big Tigger Morning Show.

“I’ve just been so focused on the task in front of me, the reflection has only been about making sure that I’m responding to the needs of folks around the policies,” she added, according to CNN.

Harris said her Election Day focus will be “making sure everybody knows the power of their voice through their vote.”

This Election Day, voters will be monitoring their TVs, laptops and phones as results of this year’s presidential and congressional elections pour in.

With just days left until November 5, the latest polls show Kamala Harris and Donald Trump neck-and-neck in their race for the White House. Meanwhile, Democrats are working to gain control of the House of Representatives as Republicans vie for a majority in the Senate.

Exit polls are a key indication of the potential results, as pollsters survey voters after they cast their ballots to determine who they backed and how they feel about certain issues.

Four major national news organizations — NBC News, ABC News, CBS News and CNN — participate in the National Election Pool.

They abide by a 5pm ET embargo, meaning the results won’t start to be released until then. Members of the National Election pool don’t report exit poll results that are indicative of a state’s winner until all polling centers have closed in that state.

After casting his vote in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday (5 November) the former president’s 2024 running mate said some had “cast their friendship aside” which he saw as a “tragedy.”

Urging the public to “be kind,” Mr Vance declared he would not follow his friends’ example.

“Whether you’re voting for Donald Trump or voting for Kamala Harris, friends and family, that stuff is what really, really matters,” he added.

“We ought to treat each other with respect and fundamentally what we’re trying to do.”
