Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention in Chicago on Wednesday.

Trump's campaign announced on Monday night that the Republican presidential nominee would engage in a Q&A session addressing key issues affecting the Black community. The campaign has made efforts to schedule appearances beyond Trump's usual support base. Earlier this year, Trump attended the Libertarian Party convention in Washington, where he faced boos from the audience.

The campaign highlighted policies from Trump's first term that purportedly benefited Black Americans. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has seen a significant drop in approval ratings among Black voters since taking office in 2021. The presidential race has gained new dynamics with Biden endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, who could make history as the first Black woman and South Asian American president if elected in November.
