Later tonight, Donald Trump will address the nation with a primetime speech that will reportedly center on election security and voting machines. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the president will “deliver a major address to the nation on protecting the integrity of our elections,” before encouraging “every American to tune in.”
A number of networks, including NBC, ABC, and CNN, won’t be airing the president’s primetime address live. One reason could be the potentially controversial nature of the speech, with the New York Times noting that it could be a “potential escalation of [Trump’s] unsubstantiated claims of widespread manipulation and rigging of U.S. elections.” Trump teased a “very big announcement” from the Oval Office on Tuesday.
