Vice President Kamala Harris has offered to address the National Association of Black Journalists virtually after their convention in Chicago this week, as announced by the organization's president. The NABJ had initially reached out to Harris' team for an in-person panel, but due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to attend either virtually or in-person this week. However, discussions are ongoing for potential virtual appearances in the future.
Former President Donald Trump is set to participate in an interview at the convention, a decision that has faced criticism. The NABJ president defended the invitation, stating that it is crucial for members to have direct access to candidates and to hold them accountable. Additionally, the organization will be collaborating with an agency to provide live fact-checking during the event.
