As a condition for NBC to cover it. The only surprise here is that it is not Fox News carrying it with Hannity. Oh, I emailed NBC but have not yet gotten a response back. Somebody suggested the following email address. contact.nbcnews@nbcuni.com

But Biden should get them to move it, with a last minute announcement.

That was he was watch Trump and they can have a chance to refute all the garbage he tosses out there.
