Donald Trump spoke Wednesday at a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, where his opponent in the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris, did not appear. The group said it was in discussions for her to address its members in September.
The Republican former president’s appearance at the Chicago convention attracted protesters and came a day after Harris held a boisterous rally in Atlanta. The Trump campaign has said he plans an event Saturday at the same venue.
The director of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 vision for a complete overhaul of the federal government stepped down after blowback from Trump’s campaign, which has tried to disavow the program created by many of the former president’s allies and former aides.
Dueling ad campaigns by the presidential candidates portray Harris, a Democrat, as “fearless,” while an ad from Trump blasts the vice president for problems at the southern U.S. border.
Trump said in an interview Tuesday on radio station WABC that Harris “doesn’t like Jewish people” and appeared to agree with a host who called her Jewish husband, Doug Emhoff, “a crappy Jew.”
