DETROIT — In an effort to reach out to African-American voters, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will make his first foray into black churches with a visit to the Great Faith Ministries Church in Detroit on Saturday and tape an interview with the church’s Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.

Jackson told his parishoners that the visit was planned and released a statement early Monday morning that the interview with Trump, which will be broadcast on his Impact Television Network, was neither a rally nor an endorsement of Trump’s candidacy.

“Media outlets throughout the country are seeking to get access to the presidential candidates, and we have been afforded that opportunity with Mr. Trump and hopeful that we will get to interview Mrs. Clinton as well,” Jackson said in a statement. “The goal for this interview is to get real answers and Trump’s views and plans on policies that affect our community.”

Jackson said Trump will have an opportunity to outline his policies in front of the congregation during the on-air interview.

“We hope this invitation to both candidates will result in an opportunity to get clarity on some of the issues that have a particular impact on our community,” Jackson said. “The 2016 Presidential election is a determining factor on the direction of our country and we want to make sure we are providing an opportunity for an informed electorate to make the best decision possible.”

Trump’s camapign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Sunday that Trump planned meetings in inner-city churches throughout the rest of the campaign.

“We’re fighting for every single vote. 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 in their churches,” she said.

The visit comes as Trump has been trying to attract black voters with a blunt question: “What in the hell do you have to lose,” by voting for him. He’s repeated the message at rallies in Michigan and around the country in the last week.

But courting and actually getting the African-American vote are two different things. The challenge for Trump — and other Republicans — is that African-American voters widely support Democrats. In 2008, Detroit gave its vote to Barack Obama by a 97%-3% margin over Sen. John McCain. In 2012, the vote was 98% for Obama to 2% for Mitt Romney. There were dozens of polling precincts — mostly in Detroit — where not a single vote was cast for Romney in 2012.

Further details for Trump’s visit to Detroit weren’t immediately available.

The visit would be Trump’s third to Michigan since the Republican National Convention. He gave a speech on the economy to the Detroit Economic Club earlier this month and was in Dimondale last week. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave a jobs and economy speech in Warren and attended a fundraiser in Birmingham earlier this month. She also spoke at the NAACP’s Fight for Freedom dinner in Detroit in May and made stops at several Detroit churches before the March 8 presidential primary in Michigan.
