Former President Donald Trump will engage in a discussion with attendees at the National Association of Black Journalists’ Annual Convention and Career Fair in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday.
The conversation is set to cover “the most pressing issues facing the Black community,” according to a press release from the Trump-Vance campaign.
The panel will be moderated by journalists Rachel Scott from ABC News, Harris Faulkner from Fox News, and Kadia Goba from Semafor.
This event is part of Trump’s efforts to connect with Black voters as he campaigns for a return to the White House in 2024. It also coincides with the Democratic Party’s shift from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, as their 2024 presidential candidate.
“President Trump accomplished more for Black Americans than any other president in recent history by implementing America First policies on the economy, immigration, energy, law and order, and foreign policy,” the campaign added.
“Historic rates of Black voters now support President Trump, and the reason is simple,” it continued. “Black voters know that President Trump is the only presidential candidate who can deliver results on day one because he already has, including landmark unemployment rates for Black Americans, increased median income for Black households, historic permanent funding for HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), comprehensive bipartisan criminal justice reform, and nearly $50 billion in funds to revitalize Opportunity Zones.”
