"We're going to get this done, but nobody can sit by the sidelines," the Democratic presidential nominee emphasized as she campaigned in battleground Wisconsin. "You don't want to look back on these four days and have any regrets about what you could have done."
Hours earlier, while campaigning in Michigan, another crucial Great Lakes swing state, Trump told his supporters "nothing matters except what happens on Tuesday."
"Just pretend that we're one point down. We're not. We're up. But pretend that we're one point down on Tuesday," the former president stressed. He once again touted that he's leading Harris, even though the latest polls continue to indicate it's a toss-up.
With time running out, the campaign strategy now shifts.
"The closing arguments have been made. It's not really about persuasion now. It's about turnout. And that's where all the energy of the campaigns are going to be directed," longtime Republican strategist David Kochel told Fox News.
Kochel, a veteran of numerous GOP presidential campaigns, said, "At this point, people's minds are made up. There are very few people out there to convince at this point. And if they're deciding, they're deciding between voting or sitting on the couch."
This weekend, both nominees will keep up the brisk pace.
On Monday, the day before the election, Trump will campaign in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before holding his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the same city where he closed out his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.
But it's not just the standard-bearers on the trail. The running mates - Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee - are fanning out across the country, along with top surrogates.
In an election within the margins, it could make all the difference.
"It's about getting people to the polls, getting absentee ballots returned, getting whatever remaining early vote there is left in the door and just leave nothing on the field," Kochel emphasized.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, has opened an exhibit featuring a collection of ancient Jewish manuscripts along with 200 other artifacts.
