Week in Review: Trump Hits Chicago With a Combative Appearance; Pritzker Coy About VP Spot
Former President Donald Trump made a controversial appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago.
Trump’s appearance quickly turned combative as he accused Vice President Kamala Harris of playing up being Black for political benefit.
Meanwhile, Harris clinches the Democratic nomination as delegates to the Democratic National Convention vote virtually to make her their nominee.
But who will Harris choose as a running mate? Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker remains coy – even as allies go to bat on his behalf.
But don’t count the Chicago Teachers Union among them.
And weeks after Sonya Massey was killed in her own home by a sheriff’s deputy, pressure intensifies for politicians at all levels of government to take action in her name.
