So Kamala was also invited to speak, but she had to be at a funeral and couldn’t come. She offered to do it on Zoom, but the NABJ declined. To me this is more an indictment of them. I heard an interview with Jamele Hill, who is a member of NABJ since 1992, and she’s says that most members are angry that they chose not to let Kamala attend via Zoom, and there’s a good chance that the entire NABJ leadership will be voted out at the next election over this.
They did give Trump a microphone, but he probably just used it to crap all over himself with black voters. The affluent black voters will vote for him because they’re convinced that he’ll lower their taxes, and that’s all they care about, but I can’t see this helping him and only hurting with the average black voter.

I’m willing to give them a pass on this because Trump complained that he had wanted to do the interview remotely and they had also declined for him.
It sounds like the ground rules for both included “it has to be in person” and the NABJ stuck to their guns on that.
