Donald Trump Makes History As First President Not Invited To Attend NAACP Convention

The NAACP announced that they wouldn’t be inviting Donald Trump or J.D. Vance to its national convention, marking the first time in the organization’s 116-year history that a sitting president (and vice president) wouldn’t be allowed to attend. NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced this decision during a press conference, where the organization also accused Trump of working against its mission. “For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” Johnson noted. “There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention — from Harry Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond. We’re nonpartisan and always welcome those who believe in democracy and the Constitution.
