President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will give his acceptance speech Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, capping a tumultuous election week that hit its apex Saturday. That’s when Pennsylvania was called for the Democratic challenger, pushing him past the 270 electoral vote threshold to overtake President Donald Trump.
As they have done all week, the broadcast networks will carve into primetime to cover Biden and Harris, who will speak tonight from Wilmington, DE, with Harris first up before introducing Biden, according to reports. You can watch the entire event on Deadline here via PBS NewsHour:
Among the changes to tonight’s primetime lineup, NBC said today that it will moves its coverage of the Notre Dame-Clemson college football game to USA Network to make room for the Biden-Harris coverage. The game will return to NBC after the coverage ends.
Here’s how the broadcast and cable networks will cover tonight, with the cable networks in continuous coverage mode. Keep checking back as more information becomes available:
