Donald Trump speaks at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday – NBC Chicago

Former President Donald Trump will speak at an event at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday.

According to the Economic Club of Chicago, Trump will appear at a private event co-hosted by Bloomberg in downtown Chicago from 11 a.m. to noon. Trump will be interviewed by Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at an unspecified location in downtown Chicago, according to a news release.

The event will be streamed on the Economic Club of Chicago YouTube channel.

Early Tuesday, NBC 5's Lisa Chavarria reported a large police presence at the bottom of Trump Tower.

Last week, Trump remained in the city while traveling to another appearance outside the Chicago area, prompting a series of road closures on both Thursday evening and Friday morning.

Trump's event on Tuesday comes a day after his vice presidential candidate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, reportedly appeared at a fundraiser in suburban Chicago.

This would be Trump's second appearance in Chicago of the campaign season, after he spoke as part of a panel discussion 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 the Jan. 6 rioters if he was elected president.

Vice President Kamala Harris did not appear at the convention but spoke to delegates via a virtual call in the following weeks.

Harris is scheduled to appear at an audio town hall in Detroit Tuesday, according to her campaign.
