MSNBC on Monday said that Lawrence O’Donnell has secured an interview with President Joe Biden that will air Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on his primetime show The Last Word.
The network says the sit-down with Biden in the Oval Office will be his final interview as President of the United States.
Donald Trump will be sworn in for the second time as U.S. President on December 20.
Biden, who decided late in the 2024 presidential election cycle not to run for a second term, has been making the rounds with press conferences this week as he looks to put a cap on his presidency. Today, in a speech carried by the cable news networks, he touted his foreign policy gains and the U.S.’s good standing in the world leading up to the handoff to Trump.
On Friday, in what was likely his final press conference as POTUS, he took on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg over his company pulling the plug on fact-checking in what some see is a capitulation to Trump.
Biden’s main farewell speech is expected to take place Wednesday, which he has scheduled for 8 p.m. ET in the Oval Office.
The O’Donnell news comes the same day MSNBC said Rachel Maddow will return to her show five days a week during Trump’s first 100 days in office. Maddow has hosted the network’s top-rated show on one night each week, Mondays, since 2022.
Alex Wagner, who anchors the 9 p.m. ET hour Tuesdays through Fridays, is going on special assignment covering the Trump presidency.
