What else to know
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.
Vice President Kamala Harris did not appear at the convention, but spoke to delegates via a virtual call in the weeks that followed.
According to her campaign, Harris Tuesday is set to appear at an audio townhall in Detroit.
