Final Campaigns and Speeches of Trump and Clinton Before the Start of the U.S. Elections

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the main candidates for the U.S. presidential election, addressed tens of thousands of their supporters just hours before voting began, continuing a rare campaign with sharp verbal attacks and criticisms of each other. Clinton, the Democratic candidate, speaking to nearly 40,000 supporters in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), said, "Tomorrow, we face the test of our time." The U.S. elections, unlike most countries around the world that hold them on weekends, are held on Tuesday (Tuesday-Wednesday in Iran time). Clinton told her supporters, "The choice is clear. The choice is between division or unity, an economy and jobs for all, or just for those who sit at the top; the choice between strong leadership or a weak current, someone who could put everything at risk." Meanwhile, Trump, the Republican candidate, directed his sharp criticisms at Clinton during a rally in New Hampshire, stating, "Do you want America to be governed by a corrupt elite? Or do you want power in America to return to the people?" He then emphasized several of his campaign slogans, such as the issue of southern borders, preventing the entry of refugees, or ending free trade agreements, promising that if he wins, he will end "years of betrayal." Clinton was joined in her final campaign by Barack Obama, the President of the United States, as well as Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton, the spouses of these two politicians. Bruce Springsteen, the famous American singer, also took the stage at the Philadelphia rally. Clinton served as Secretary of State during Obama's first term. Trump did not feature a famous singer in his New Hampshire rally. He emphasized in his speeches that the upcoming election will lead to "the power of the people" and "government by the people." He stated, "It is time to set aside the media and the politicians of the ruling current." Just hours before the end of campaigning, polling results indicated that Hillary Clinton was leading. The Democratic candidate is ahead of the Republican candidate by 3 to 3.4 percent. The U.S. elections will begin on Tuesday. The 45th President of the United States will take leadership of a country with the "strongest" military in the world (according to Credit Suisse) and 25 percent of global GDP (according to the International Monetary Fund).
