Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris returns to Philadelphia today for her 20th visit to the city, while Republican rival Donald Trump holds a rally in New York.
Trump chose the iconic Madison Square Garden for his rally, a matinee that promises to feature a musical performance by some of the stars of the show and several prominent figures from the Republican Party.
In the city where he is being tried for some of the crimes he is accused of, Trump promises to put the issue on the agenda of the rally, certainly to repeat the message that he is being politically persecuted by the Democrats, in particular by the Justice Department controlled by President Joe Biden's White House.
The candidate was enthusiastic about this moment in his campaign, in the city where he once had his official address.
"I think it's going to be a great moment! And it's going to be a real celebration of everything, because the campaign is going to end a few days after that," Trump said in an interview with a local radio station, referring to his visit to Madison Square Garden.
Kamala Harris is traveling from Michigan, where she was alongside former First Lady Michelle Obama, to the crucial state of Pennsylvania, which has been a prime stage for her campaign activities.
Throughout the week, Harris has been joined by two music stars - Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson - and today in Philadelphia she will be joined on stage by John Legend, who is expected to perform for the Democrat's audience.
In several interviews with regional media outlets, Harris has highlighted the quality of the artists who have appeared at her rallies, comparing them to those who appear alongside Trump and accusing the Republican of "having very bad taste in music", referring to the musical moments with which he has ended some of his rallies.
In Philadelphia, Harris is expected to return to the topic of the economy, which she has used in recent days to denounce the way in which Republicans are only concerned with lowering taxes for the richest and ensuring that the public investment plans she intends to invest in will serve to improve the financial situation of Americans.
