Former President Donald Trump is set to speak at an event at the Economic Club of Chicago Tuesday.
According to the Economic Club of Chicago, Trump will appear at a private event cohosted by Bloomberg in downtown Chicago from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Trump will be interviewed by Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, a press release said, at an unspecified location in downtown Chicago.
The event will be streamed on the Economic Club of Chicago’s YouTube channel.
Early Tuesday, NBC 5's Lisa Chavarria reported a large police presence along the lower side of Trump Tower.
Last week, Trump stayed in the city while heading to another appearance not in the Chicago area, leading to a number of street closures both Thursday night and Friday morning.
Trump's Tuesday event comes one day after his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, reportedly appeared at a fundraiser in Chicago's suburbs.
This would be Trump’s second appearance in Chicago during the campaign season, after he spoke as part of a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in the city. The event sparked controversy after Trump attacked Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity and promised to pardon Jan. 6 rioters if he were elected president.
