Trump Campaign Manager: We are Planning to Hold Minority Outreach Events in Inner Cities

August 28, 2016

Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that the campaign is planning to hold minority voter outreach events in inner-cities soon.

"I will tell you Chris, and I pledge to you and everybody who is watching, those events are actually being planned and we are very excited about them," Conway said.

Wallace had asked Conway if she was surprised that Trump has been campaigning for 15 months and had not gone into an inner-city and held an outreach event for African-American voters. Conway said that she was not surprised but pleaded that she was new to her position on the campaign.

She said the Trump campaign wanted to improve on the percentage of African-American votes that went to the Republican nominee.

"We're fighting for every single vote and we're going to leave it all on the field. And that includes going where the voters are and taking the case directly to them," Conway said.

Wallace also asked Conway about Trump's tweet about the tragic shooting of basketball star Dwyane Wade's cousin where the GOP candidate appeared to use the situation to make it about his political prescience.

Conway deflected and said that in the following tweet he had expressed his condolences to the Wade family.

"He's going to take this case right to the people where they live and that includes everyone," Conway said. "We're vying for every vote, every ethnicity, both genders, every age group."
