Former President Donald Trump held three separate rallies on Thursday, appearing in the all-important swing states of Arizona and Nevada, and also held an event in New Mexico.
“I have one thing in mind. It’s called Make America Great Again. It’s all I think about,” Trump told the crowd in Glendale, Arizona, his last stop of the night, where he was interviewed on stage by Tucker Carlson.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also spoke in Glendale.
“I smell a landslide on Tuesday,” said Kennedy, who also ran for president this cycle, until he suspended his campaign over the summer, endorsing Trump shortly after.
Kennedy told the crowd that he prayed for nearly 20 years to put him in a position “to end the chronic disease epidemic.”
“In August, God sent me Donald Trump,” Kennedy said, adding that the former president will task him to “end the conflicts of interests” in regulatory industries.
Earlier in the evening, Trump held a rally in Henderson, Nevada.
The Republican nominee was joined on stage by Retired Army Lt. Col. Warren Douglas Quets, whose 31-year-old son Nicholas, a U.S. Marine, was shot and killed by suspected cartel members only 30 miles from their home.
Trump has made the border the central issue of his campaign, with his message focused on migrant crime.
Earlier this week, the former president proposed the death penalty for illegal migrants who are found to have murdered American citizens, said he will ban all sanctuary cities, and announced plans to seize the assets of cartels to fund a restitution program for the families of victims.
“I will fix it, and we’ll fix it fast. And we’re gonna have an America that’s bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before,” he told the Nevada crowd.
With the election just a few short days away, some states are still deciding on what the rules will be. On Monday, the Nevada Supreme Court announced that they will allow mail ballots to be counted three days after Election Day, even without a postmark.
Out of the seven projected swing states, Nevada is the only one whose deadline to receive ballots in the mail goes past Election Day.
Trump started the day in Albuquerque, New Mexico, speaking to a crowd of supporters in a dark blue state that has chosen a Republican for president only once since 1992.
“Hispanics love Trump,” he announced, to loud approval from the crowd, and told them that he will “stop the people pouring across the border.”
FiveThirtyEight’s New Mexico polling average on Thursday found the former president trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by 6.9 percent. Saturday is the final day for early voting in the Land of Enchantment state.
“Look, I’m only here for one reason. They all said, ‘Don’t come.’ I said, ‘Why?’ They said, ‘You can’t win New Mexico,’ Trump said. “We can win New Mexico.”
Meanwhile, Harris held her own events on Thursday in Nevada and Arizona.
The Vice President continued to bring star power to her events, appearing on stage in Phoenix with popular Mexican norteño band, Los Tigres del Norte, and later, A-list actress Jennifer Lopez at a stop in Las Vegas.
“It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans that were offended that day. It was every Latino in this country,” said Lopez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s remarks made at Sunday’s Trump rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Lopez is co-chair of When We All Vote, a voter advocacy organization headed by former First Lady Michelle Obama, that features NBA star Steph Curry, actor Tom Hanks, and U.S. women’s national soccer player Megan Rapinoe as fellow co-chairs.
Harris received an endorsement earlier in the day from LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers legend who is currently playing in his record-tying 22nd season.
Election Day is Nov. 5.
