Kamala Harris Faces NABJ in Lengthy Interview

Vice President Kamala Harris is slated for an extensive campaign interview Tuesday with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), a month after former President Donald Trump stirred controversy when speaking to the same organization. Throughout her campaign, Harris has largely avoided the media, with limited appearances including a recent joint interview with running mate Tim Walz for CNN and a solo TV interview for a Philadelphia station. During his own NABJ interview, Trump questioned Harris' racial identity (her father is Jamaican and her mother is Indian), saying she had "turned Black" at some point during her career. The subject came up again during the candidates' September debate.

The NABJ event will be moderated by Eugene Daniels of Politico, Gerren Gaynor of theGrio, and Tonya Mosley of WHYY. PolitiFact will provide live fact-checking as it did during Trump's appearance. NABJ highlighted the significance of holding the conversation in Philadelphia, a crucial city in a key battleground state with a substantial Black population. The organization has a history of hosting both major presidential candidates, with previous attendees including Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
