Clinton, Trump Crisscross Battleground States Ahead of Election Day

ABC/Ida Mae Astute(WASHINGTON) — Just a day remains before the 2016 presidential campaign comes to a close and both candidates are making the most of the time they have left, with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton making a combined nine stops in battleground states Monday.

Trump, the Republican nominee, began his day in the southeastern United States, stopping in Florida and North Carolina, before heading north to Pennsylvania and joining his running mate, Mike Pence, for two events in New Hampshire and Michigan.

By the end of the day, the Republican nominee will have held five events in five states in 12 hours.

Clinton started her trip Monday in Pittsburgh, then stops in Michigan, before returning to Pennsylvania. The Democratic nominee is bringing out the big guns by having President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton join her Monday night in Philadelphia.

Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi are scheduled to perform at her event billed as her “closing argument.” Hillary Clinton finally ends her night with a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The former secretary of state will seek to capitalize on Sunday’s news that the FBI’s latest review of Clinton-related emails did not result in evidence that would change their recommendation that no charges be filed against her.

Both candidates have other surrogates holding solo events for each of them. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is making four stops in Ohio for Trump.

Besides the event with Clinton in Philadelphia, President Obama will be in Michigan and New Hampshire during the day.
