The two major U.S. networks will not air President Trump's Thursday night speech on their main television channels, instead providing live streams on digital platforms, according to reports.
The decision by NBC and ABC to stream President Trump's speech online rather than broadcast it on their main TV channels comes amid heightened political tensions. Earlier Thursday, The Zioneer reported that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had called on television networks not to air the speech, describing it as a 'moral imperative.' The White House had stated that the address would focus on election integrity. The networks' move to shift the speech to digital platforms maintains public access while avoiding a live TV broadcast, a choice that reflects the continued partisan divide over Trump's public appearances.
