Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are increasingly focusing their presidential campaigns on the Keystone State, with dual rallies scheduled in Pennsylvania on Monday evening.

Three weeks from Election Day and the presidential candidates are crisscrossing the state that could decide it all: Former President Donald Trump was scheduled to hold a town hall in Philadelphia, while Vice President Harris was holding a rally in Erie…on the other side of Pennsylvania.

Earlier Monday, Harris sat down for an interview with media host Roland Martin, as the campaign steps up its outreach to Black voters, particularly men.

"There is an attempt to suggest to a lot of folks that their vote won't matter," Harris said in the interview.

As Trump also courts support from Black men, some Democratic party leaders believe it will come down to turnout.

"Black men, like everybody else, want to know exactly what I can expect from the Harris administration," Rep. James Clyburn said Sunday on CNN, "and I've been very direct with them."

The Harris campaign unveiled new policy proposals Monday, including forgivable loans to Black entrepreneurs, training and mentorship programs for high-demand industries, and legalizing recreational marijuana nationally.

As new CBS News polling shows the race virtually tied in the battleground states, Trump is leaning hard into one of his signature issues–immigration.

"When I win on November 5th," Trump told cheering supporters, "the migrant invasion ends, and the restoration of our country begins."

Campaigning in Arizona Sunday, Trump got the endorsement of the Border Patrol union and promised to work with Congress to hire 10,000 new agents and approve a 10 percent pay raise.

"We need the agents, we need them badly," Trump said at the rally, "and keeping our incredible veteran agents on the force–don't leave us! Raise your right hand, you're not gonna leave."

Earlier this year, of course, it was Trump who helped undermined bipartisan legislation negotiated by Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) that would have provided funding for more agents, among other things.
