Daily Caller Reporter Calls Out Double Standard Of NABJ Treatment Of Trump Versus Harris

Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese pointed out the stark contrast on Tuesday between the National Association of Black Journalists’ (NABJ) treatment toward Vice President Kamala Harris versus Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The NABJ held an event with Trump on July 31 which quickly turned hostile, while the same journalists hosting the event asked Harris about the meaning of joy during their event with the vice president on Tuesday. Reese said the event moderators were notably friendlier with Harris than with Trump during a segment on NewsNation’s “On Balance with LeLand Vittert.”

“If you look at the panel of journalists that Harris faced today, Eugene Daniels is the author of Politico, we’ve seen Politico’s coverage kind of shift over the past couple of months to be very favorable of Harris,” Reese said. “It was once scrutinizing Biden and his old age in office … A clip that you didn’t show which is in stark contrast to what President Trump faced, was ‘can you explain the importance of joy in your campaign?’ That was a question posed to Kamala Harris.”

Harris sat down for questioning with Politico’s Eugene Daniels, WHYY’s Tonya Mosley and TheGrio’s Gerren Keith Gaynor in Philadelphia, where they asked her about the importance of joy in her campaign and about her plan to ban assault weapons.

Reese commended Daniels’ question to Harris on whether Americans are better off now than they were before the Biden-Harris administration came in, but noted the Democratic nominee’s non-response.
