President Obama is giving a town hall speech later today: here’s how to watch

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

At a time when America is in desperate need of leadership, and the current “President” Donald Trump is offering the precise opposite of leadership, here comes President Obama. He’s holding a virtual town hall event later today to discuss the death of George Floyd, in what is sure to attract a large audience.

There is no official word yet on whether the various cable news network might air all or part of President Obama’s town hall [Update, 2:23pm: CNN now says it’ll be airing the event]. Given the widespread interest, we expect they’ll show at least portions of it. But even if they don’t, you can watch the event on an internet live stream at obama.org.
