President Donald Trump will deliver a prime-time address to the nation from the White House on Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern, his first such speech since returning to office earlier this year. The president has not said what specific topics he will cover, but aides say he plans to highlight what he sees as a strong first year back in the Oval Office and to preview his agenda for the three years ahead.
Truth Social announcement
Trump announced the address in a post on his Truth Social platform, telling followers, “My Fellow Americans: I will be giving an ADDRESS TO THE NATION tomorrow night, LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, at 9 P.M. EST,” and adding that “the best is yet to come.” The message framed the past year as “a great year for our Country,” signaling that the speech is likely to take a celebratory tone as much as a policy-focused one.
White House framing
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the prime-time remarks will focus on Trump’s accomplishments over the last 11 months, including what the administration describes as efforts to “bring our country back to greatness.” Leavitt also indicated the address will lay out priorities for the remainder of Trump’s term, though officials have not released a detailed list of proposals or legislative asks ahead of the speech.
Political and public backdrop
The nationally televised address comes as polling shows voters remain uneasy about the economy, even as Trump and his advisers argue that conditions are improving under his leadership. NBC News recently reported Trump’s job approval at about 42 percent, underscoring the stakes of a high-visibility speech that could help reset public opinion or harden existing views.
What viewers can expect
Presidential addresses to the nation in prime time are typically carried live by major broadcast and cable networks, and Wednesday’s speech is expected to receive similar wall-to-wall coverage. Networks and streaming platforms had not yet released full programming plans as of Tuesday afternoon, but the White House said the address is scheduled to begin promptly at 9 p.m. Eastern, with the length left open-ended.
