philadelphia<u+2014>drawing the largest crowd of her campaign at a rally with her husband bill clinton, their daughter, chelsea, president barack obama and first lady michelle obama, hillary clinton urged americans to deliver her a decisive victory in tuesday<u+2019>s election that leaves no room for republican donald trump to question the results. mrs. clinton called for unity among democrats and republicans in her closing argument of a bitter, divisive campaign, with a gleaming independence hall in the background and more than 30,000 people spread across a philadelphia<u+2019>s historic square. <u+201c>i regret deeply how angry the tone of the campaign became,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said monday, promising to be a president who represents all americans regardless of political party if she wins the white house. <u+201c>tomorrow we face the test of our time,<u+201d> she said. <u+201c>what will we vote for, not just against?<u+201d> the rally, mrs. clinton<u+2019>s third of the day, was steeped in symbolism and star power , with performances from musicians bruce springsteen and jon bon jovi. it ended with the day<u+2019>s takeaway image of mr. obama, mrs. clinton, mr. clinton, mrs. obama and chelsea clinton standing together on stage waving to the crowd. the first african-american u.s. president broke from protocol to allow his former rival and secretary of state to speak last, introducing the candidate he hopes will succeed him as the first woman president. <u+201c>like the american people, she is strong and tough and she knows that government service is not about her, it<u+2019>s about you,<u+201d> mr. obama said. by early tuesday morning mrs. clinton will have campaigned in four cities and three states over less than 24 hours, in an attempt to maximize voter turnout among her supporters. she began monday with a rally in pittsburgh, followed by stops in the grand rapids area of michigan and then philadelphia. she is scheduled to end with a midnight rally in raleigh, n.c., and plans to greet supporters at the airport near her home in new york. mr. trump also zigzagged across the country monday in his last attempt to rally his supporters before election day. he appeared at stops in florida, michigan, pennsylvania, new hampshire and north carolina. <u+201c>it<u+2019>s been some campaign,<u+201d> the republican nominee said in sarasota, fla. <u+201c>they say it<u+2019>s the single greatest movement politically speaking in the history of this country.<u+201d> in scranton, pa., in the evening, mr. trump predicted he would carry the state, where most polls have shown mrs. clinton with a small but consistent lead. <u+201c>they say we<u+2019>re tied in pennsylvania,<u+201d> he said. <u+201c>i don<u+2019>t think so. i think we<u+2019>re going to blow it out tomorrow.<u+201d> the candidates<u+2019> itineraries underscore which states the campaigns see as most decisive on tuesday. in philadelphia, mrs. clinton expressed concern that mr. trump would challenge the legitimacy of the election result. in the third presidential debate last month, mr. trump refused to commit to respecting the results of the election, hinting at a challenge to one of the longtime traditions of american democracy. <u+201c>well let<u+2019>s show tomorrow there will be no question about the outcome of the election,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said. her schedule was designed to try to solidify her party<u+2019>s traditional strongholds, such as michigan and pennsylvania, while rallying support in north carolina, where the race is a tossup. earlier on monday, mrs. clinton pleaded with democrats not to let michigan fall to mr. trump. tailoring her speech to the state<u+2019>s voters, she noted that she knew michigan<u+2019>s native son, republican president gerald ford, as a college student. she praised policy that would make it easier for union workers to organize. she questioned mr. trump<u+2019>s promises to return jobs to michigan and other states hit hard by the decline of u.s. manufacturing. <u+201c>he<u+2019>s gone all over this country, he<u+2019>s gone all over michigan talking about how he<u+2019>s going to really get more jobs and he<u+2019>s bring back what used to be there,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said during a rally at grand valley state university. <u+201c>look at his record, don<u+2019>t just listen to his rhetoric.<u+201d> mr. trump also campaigned in michigan sunday and monday, aiming to mobilize enough white, working class voters to carry the state. polls show the michigan race has narrowed to give mrs. clinton just a single-digit lead, and mrs. clinton<u+2019>s campaign manager robby mook said over the weekend that the state was a <u+201c>battleground.<u+201d> throughout the day, mrs. clinton aimed to end the contentious campaign on a more positive note. at her first stop on monday in pittsburgh, she tried to balance her optimistic message with criticism of mr. trump, accusing him of dividing americans and calling him <u+201c>temperamentally unqualified and experientially unqualified<u+201d> for the presidency. <u+201c>we have to start talking to each other again, and we have to get good ideas wherever they come from,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said at the university of pittsburgh. <u+201c>sometimes when i hear my opponent speak, i don<u+2019>t recognize the country he<u+2019>s talking about.<u+201d> pennsylvania is seen as a firewall for mrs. clinton<u+2019>s effort to block mr. trump from reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the white house. polls show mrs. clinton leading mr. trump in the state, though, like in michigan, the race has tightened. unlike many battleground states, pennsylvania doesn't have early voting. <u+201c>in pennsylvania it<u+2019>s all about election day,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said. <u+201c>for those who are still making up your minds or thinking of maybe not voting at all, let me just say, the choice in this election could not be clearer.<u+201d> before beginning a marathon day of campaigning, the democratic nominee told reporters traveling with her that she is focused on driving her base of voters to the polls. <u+201c>right now we<u+2019>re just looking at maximizing our turnout operation everywhere and working in coordination obviously with other candidates in both the house and the senate,<u+201d> mrs. clinton said. <u+201c>i<u+2019>m really excited about having a chance to make all these stops today.<u+201d> as part of that effort, mrs. clinton plans to air a two-minute tv ad monday night in which she delivers a closing argument with a more uplifting tone than the negativity that has defined the 2016 campaign. the new ad is set to air on cbs and nbc during two of the networks<u+2019> popular monday night shows, <u+201c>the voice<u+201d> and <u+201c>kevin can wait,<u+201d> a clinton campaign official said. if she is elected on tuesday, she told reporters, <u+201c>i think i have some work to do to bring the country together.<u+201d> write to carol e. lee at carol.lee@wsj.com
