President Biden will continue to try to make the case to American voters that he’s the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump this fall, as the incumbent president has set his next sit-down interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt.
Holt will interview Biden in a one-on-one interview on Monday, July 15, in Austin, Texas. The full interview will air in its entirety during a primetime special on NBC that evening at 9 p.m. ET. The special will also stream at 9 p.m. ET on the NBC News Now digital platform.
In addition, portions of the interview will air earlier in the day on July 15 on “NBC Nightly News” with Holt at 6:30 p.m. ET and clips and coverage will be available on nbcnews.com. According to NBC News, the full interview and unedited transcript will also be available following the primetime special on the network’s website.

Last week, ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos snared the first TV interview with Biden after the president’s recent disastrous performance in the debate with Trump. Just days later, Stephanopoulos was caught on video saying about Biden, “I don’t think he can serve four more years.” The journalist expressed regret about the remark, saying a statement Tuesday, “Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.”
During the June 27 debate, which was telecast by CNN, Biden appeared weak and confused — whereas the campaign had hoped it would help dispel concerns over his health and age. Biden’s poor showing against Trump has prompted some Democrats and donors to call on the president to drop out of the 2024 election.
