Addressing the rally of the Presidential campaign in Philadelphia, President Barack Obama said Donald Trump's conduct might be acceptable in other countries – but not in the United States.
This Obama's second-to-last campaign event for Hillary Clinton.
Obama mocked Trump for threatening to jail Hillary Clinton if he's elected. He said other countries discriminate against people based on their religion, but not the US.
Hinting at Trump’s closeness with Putin, Obama said:
Maybe Putin thinks it’s ok. I don’t think it’s ok.
The President also said unlike Trump, Clinton "actually knows what's going on in the world."
Hillary Clinton said at a large campaign rally with President Barack Obama that Tuesday's election represents "the test of our time." She asked, "What will we vote for, not just against?"
Clinton rallied thousands of supporters outside Philadelphia's Independence Hall on the eve of the election. She told the crowd that she deeply regretted how angry the tone of the campaign became, prompting someone to yell that it wasn't her fault.
Clinton was joined on stage after the rally by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, her daughter Chelsea and the Obamas. The rally included performances by rockers Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, all aimed at winning battleground Pennsylvania.
President Barack Obama added that voters don't have to settle for just voting against Donald Trump when they "have somebody extraordinary to vote for" in Hillary Clinton.
Obama delivered his closing pitch for Clinton during a star-studded rally in Philadelphia.
Obama said he had to "bite my tongue" throughout the "nonsense" of the campaign. He's decrying "vicious, crazy" attacks against Clinton and says she's been held to double-standards.
First Lady Michelle Obama, who rallied alongside Obama in Philadelphia, said voters have a chance on Tuesday to stand up to "those who seek to divide us and make us afraid."
She added that helping Clinton get elected is perhaps the last and most important thing she can do for the country as first lady.
The rally was also marked by a performance by Jon Bon Jovi who told Hillary Clinton's supporters that "the world is watching" on the eve of Tuesday's presidential election.
The rock band front man performed at the rally near Philadelphia's Independence Hall ahead of appearances by Clinton, President Barack Obama and rocker Bruce Springsteen.
Bon Jovi said with the eyes of the world upon America, the nation needs to ask itself:
What kind of world do we want? I want a world of hope and optimism.
Former president Bill Clinton commented on the elections and said Tuesday will mark a "change election” when voters have to decide whether "we are going to change forward together or backward."
Clinton said Hillary Clinton has "lived her life dedicated to making changes for other people.
Rocker Bruce Springsteen said the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in Tuesday's election "couldn't be any clearer" and told the Philadelphia rally that Trump's ideas and campaign are "going down."
Springsteen made his first appearance on the 2016 campaign trail on behalf of Clinton and said her candidacy is based on "intelligence, experience, preparation" and a vision of America "where everyone counts."
Springsteen has campaigned on behalf of President Barack Obama and John Kerry in the past. Commenting on the US elections, he said Trump's campaign allowed him "to prioritise his own interests and ego before American democracy itself." He says on Tuesday "those ideas and that campaign is going down."
