Former President Donald Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago led to significant controversy and heated exchanges. During a combative interview, Trump falsely questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity, claiming she 'became a Black person' for political purposes. The event, moderated by ABC News' Rachel Scott, faced backlash from NABJ members, resulting in the resignation of co-chair Karen Attiah over the decision to invite Trump. Scott challenged Trump on his past inflammatory remarks and questioned why Black voters should trust him, to which Trump responded with disdain, claiming to have been the best president for Black Americans. Despite his assertions of goodwill towards the Black community, the session was marked by accusations of dishonesty and divisiveness. Harris's campaign criticized Trump's behavior as reflective of the chaos associated with his political rallies.
