President Donald Trump is set to give a televised speech to the nation about election integrity and interference on Thursday at 9 p.m. from the Oval Office.
REPUBLICANS BEG TRUMP TO FOCUS ON 2026 IN PRIMETIME ADDRESS
In the primetime address, Trump will discuss declassified findings related to the 2020 election that the White House has said will show foreign interference in that election cycle.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also said the president may discuss the war in Iran and the state of the economy at the top of the speech.
Both ABC News and NBC News have said they will not carry the speech on their primetime networks but will air it on their streaming platforms instead.
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had suggested on Wednesday that media networks deplatform the speech, calling it a “platforming of lies about our election.”
