Vice President Mike Pence returns to Arizona for two campaign events. In Tucson, Pence is scheduled to accept an endorsement from an Arizona police union on Tuesday.
He'll then travel to Mesa to launch the campaign’s outreach efforts to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Trump and Democrat Joe Biden have both focused heavily on Arizona, which is turning into a swing state after decades of GOP dominance.
Trump won Arizona by 3.5 points in 2016, and Democrats won several key statewide races two years later with the support of voters disaffected by Trump.
