PHILADELPHIA — Vice President Kamala Harris will take questions from three members of the National Association of Black Journalists on Tuesday, six weeks after former President Donald Trump questioned her ethnicity and clashed with a journalist at the organization’s national convention in Chicago. Harris declined an invitation from NABJ to attend the August convention because it conflicted with the funeral of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.
On Tuesday at WHYY, a public radio station in downtown Philadelphia, Harris will field questions from Tonya Mosley, co-host of NPR’s “Fresh Air” and host of the “Truth Be Told” podcast; Gerren Keith Gaynor, White House correspondent and managing editor of politics at TheGrio; and Eugene Daniels, Playbook co-author and White House correspondent for Politico.
NABJ said PolitiFact will perform fact-checks in real time, which will also be shared using the hashtag #NABJFactCheck on social media and through a live feed on the NABJ website.
The event will be livestreamed on NABJ’s YouTube and Facebook pages. But it is not an official campaign event, and it is open only to select NABJ members and 100 students from historically Black colleges and universities.
