Trump Demands Equal Time After Biden Address

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team is demanding from the big four broadcast television networks equal time on air if they carry outgoing Democrat President Joe Biden’s primetime speech on Wednesday evening wherein Biden is planning to explain why he is stepping aside and endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris instead.

David Warrington, counsel for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, sent letters to the heads of ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX demanding that if they air Biden’s primetime address, Trump be given equal time to make his own case to the public.

Morally, the demand is on firm ground. Legally ... probably not. Joe Biden has already withdrawn from the nomination and is no longer a candidate. If he uses tonight's speech to campaign for Harris, though, he might muddy those waters, not to mention have a potential Hatch Act issue (okay, stop laughing).
