Where to watch: Can you see President Biden’s make-or-break ABC interview early on the West Coast?

5 months ago

Amid the fallout over President Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate against Republican rival and former President Donald Trump, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is interviewing Biden on Friday during a campaign swing in Wisconsin.

That interview is slated for broadcast on ABC stations at 8 p.m. Eastern and 8 p.m. Pacific time, which means it will be tape-delayed for West Coast viewers.

But are there ways to see the interview early in the Pacific time zone?

There are options. ABC said it will be releasing a transcript of the interview, and major news organizations are likely to offer live coverage as soon as they receive that transcript — and while the Stephanopoulos-Biden conversation begins airing in the Eastern time zone.
