pembroke pines, fla.<u+2014>rain poured down on hillary clinton and her supporters here, so the democratic nominee cut her speech short and delivered what her campaign hopes will be an uplifting final message after a nasty, insult-driven campaign. <u+201c>here<u+2019>s what i want you to remember: i want to be the president for everybody,<u+201d> she said as a driving rain picked up strength. <u+201c>let<u+2019>s vote for the future! let<u+2019>s vote for what we want for our country.<u+201d> her remarks lasted less than eight minutes. <u+201c>you are a hardy bunch, standing out in the rain,<u+201d> she told supporters at c.b. smith park in the democratic stronghold of broward county, just before cutting the event short. the clinton campaign also released an upbeat closing tv ad and said it would air a <u+201c>positive and unifying message<u+201d> on the eve of the election with a two-minute ad nationwide during popular tv shows. to be sure, the campaign is still painting a sharply negative message of what a trump presidency would portend, and she attacked him hard at events on friday. there might have been additional hits at saturday<u+2019>s rally had it not been cut short by rain. on a conference call aimed at millennial voters and volunteers, mrs. clinton described mr. trump<u+2019>s vision as <u+201c>dark and divisive,<u+201d> saying hers was hopeful and inclusive. <u+201c>we need a huge, huge turnout,<u+201d> she added. <u+201c>it<u+2019>s all hands on deck for the next three days.<u+201d> capital journal is wsj.com<u+2019>s home for election 2016 news. earlier in the day, mrs. clinton worked to pump up turnout in south florida, where democrats must run up big numbers to win the state. she dropped into an early voting center, campaigned alongside slain black teenager trayvon martin<u+2019>s mother and visited a campaign field office in little haiti. <u+201c>we<u+2019>ve got work to do today,<u+201d> the democratic nominee said. mrs. clinton and her gop rival donald trump each woke up on saturday in florida, the biggest prize on the presidential battlemap, as they worked to turn out their supporters in a final sprint to election day. at this point, the primary goal is less to win over new voters and more to motivate supporters to show up at the polls. and on the final weekend of a presidential contest that began more than a year and a half ago, mrs. clinton focused on doing just that, either over these last two days of early voting or on election day this tuesday. she began her day at the west miami community center in a cuban-american community and greeted volunteers and voters alongside cuban-american telenova star jencarolos canela. a handful of colombian dancers performed as others beat on drums. <u+201c>we<u+2019>re going to do this,<u+201d> she told several people along a rope line. with her was sybrina fulton, mother of trayvon martin, who in 2012 was fatally shot by a self-styled neighborhood watch resident. her outreach to cubans, african-americans and haitians is part of her campaign<u+2019>s work to touch a wide range of ethnic minorities, hoping a big turnout of nonwhite voters will propel her past mr. trump in this diverse and populous state. in little haiti, jean monestime, a miami dade county commissioner said the election was between an old america and a more inclusive and welcoming new america. <u+201c>this is what secretary clinton represents to us,<u+201d> he said. <u+201c>this is the america we all want to be a part of, the america she<u+2019>s promoting.<u+201d> in florida, mrs. clinton and mr. trump are in a tight race, though she has long held a lead in pennsylvania. after the rally in suburban pembroke pines, mrs. clinton was heading to philadelphia, where she would appear at a concert with pop star katy perry. that follows a concert last week in miami with singer jennifer lopez and on friday night in cleveland with rapper jay z and his superstar wife, beyonc<u+00e9>. on sunday in new hampshire, she will campaign with singer-songwriter james taylor. both campaigns saw hopeful signs in early votes already cast, with each side cherry-picking statistics to make their cases. but in pennsylvania and michigan, where mrs. clinton campaigned on friday, nearly all the votes are cast on election day, so the campaigns face a bigger turnout challenge. mrs. clinton planned stops in pennsylvania for four-straight days, underscoring the importance of this generally democratic state to her electoral strategy. if she wins there, it will be very difficult for mr. trump to put together the electoral votes needed for him to win. meanwhile, the clinton campaign released the upbeat tv ad featuring ms. perry<u+2019>s song <u+201c>roar.<u+201d> the one-minute commercial shows images of voters as words on the screen to describe the reasons they are voting, such as for fairness, courage and respect. the ad is airing in all of this year<u+2019>s most contested states, but also in michigan and wisconsin, two traditionally democratic states where mr. trump is making a late play. the campaign also has returned to the airwaves in colorado, a state that had seemed firmly in the clinton camp. and it is airing in arizona, a republican-leaning state that mrs. clinton is trying to flip. in battleground states this weekend, volunteers will be making phone calls and knocking on doors, while tv watchers will see the final burst of ads. mrs. clinton<u+2019>s campaign said some one million volunteers would go house to house and make calls over the final stretch. mr. trump<u+2019>s campaign was relying mostly on the republican national committee to reach out to individual voters, with a ground game generally seen as far less sophisticated. the gop candidate was campaigning in the tampa area first thing on saturday and planned to jet to north carolina and nevada before ending the day in colorado. in all, he was scheduled to visit at least nine states, maybe more, on the friday-to-sunday stretch. that includes places where he is leading, such as iowa, tossups such as florida, and states thought to be safely democratic, such as wisconsin. locking down democratic-leaning states is essential for mrs. clinton, who can win the race if the states leaning her direction come through<u+2014>even if she loses most of the traditional battlegrounds. <u+201c>her priority is to focus on her firewall,<u+201d> said chris kofinis, a democratic strategist. and mrs. clinton was also some getting high-powered help. president barack obama, vice president joe biden, vermont sen. bernie sanders and others were campaigning for her this weekend. on sunday, nba star forward lebron james will appear by her side in cleveland, a rare showing on the trail for mr. james. at friday night<u+2019>s get-out-the-vote concert in cleveland, beyonc<u+00e9> and jay z urged a raucous crowd to help make history on election day. beyonc<u+00e9> and her backup dancers donned pantsuits<u+2014>a clinton wardrobe staple<u+2014>for the occasion. <u+201c>i am so energized after this concert,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said. <u+201c>i<u+2019>ve got to say: didn<u+2019>t you love the pantsuits?<u+201d> <u+2018> i am so energized after this concert. i<u+2019>ve got to say: didn<u+2019>t you love the pantsuits? <u+2019> clinton aides have long said their aim was to end the race with a unifying spirit, in hopes of laying the foundation for her to govern better if elected. they emphasized her outreach to republicans, announced plans to campaign in arizona, traditionally a republican state, and suggested she might be able to win utah, too. they released a tv ad dubbed their <u+201c>closing argument<u+201d> featuring mrs. clinton talking about her commitment to children and families. but those goals largely fell away a week ago, after the surprise fbi announcement that investigators had found additional emails from mrs. clinton<u+2019>s family server on the laptop of one of her aide<u+2019>s estranged husband. it wasn<u+2019>t clear whether these emails are incriminating, but the news dominated the campaign conversation. mr. trump has made the fbi disclosure central to his final pitch to voters. mrs. clinton has replied by trying to revive discussion of what voters don<u+2019>t like about mr. trump. on the final weekend, she appears to be trying to inject more positive along with the attacks. <u+2014>colleen mccain nelson contributed to this article. write to laura meckler at
