Former President Donald Trump is currently firing up crowds in Salem, Virginia, as he vies for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The event, taking place at the Salem Civic Center, kicked off a bit later than scheduled, around 4 p. m. , due to a delay from his previous stop in North Carolina. Trump's goal? To woo supporters just days before the November 5 election.

Interestingly, Trump is facing Vice President Kamala Harris on the Democratic side. Virginia polls will be open from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m. on election day. Before Trump took the stage, several other speakers warmed up the crowd.

This rally comes amid a flurry of campaign activities, with Trump traveling across the country to rally his base. The focus is on regaining the presidency, a role he held from 2017 to 2021. The race is tight, with both candidates making a strong push in the final days leading up to the election.

The Salem rally is a key stop for Trump, showcasing his campaign's strategy and energy. It's also a reminder that even with a busy schedule, candidates need to connect with voters directly to build momentum. Political observers are closely watching these final rallies to gauge the potential outcome of the election.
