Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off the last full week of campaigning at a church in Philadelphia in her latest bid to energize Black voters, while former President Donald Trump is betting on a famous New York City venue — Madison Square Garden — to give him a final-stretch push on Sunday evening.

Harris plans to give a similar “closing argument” speech at the Ellipse near the White House on Tuesday, sandwiched between campaign stops in battleground states that conclude with rallies in Nevada and Arizona on Thursday. Trump’s swing-state schedule this week includes Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he’s flagging an appearance with former NFL quarterback Brett Favre.
