NBC aired a message from former President Donald Trump one day after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on Saturday Night Live (SNL).
Trump, after greeting fans of sports, noted that the presidential election is slated for Nov. 5.
“We’re two days away from the most important election in the history of our country. We’ve got to save our country, and it needs saving. It’s in very bad shape,” Trump said.
“We’re going to end up in a depression based on what’s been happening.
“We have to straighten out our country, we have to close our borders, we have to lower our taxes, we have to get rid of inflation. I'll fix it.”
NBC declined to provide a comment on the development.
Harris appeared live during Saturday’s SNL. She participated in a skit that portrayed her speaking to another version of herself ahead of the election.
“It is nice to see you, Kamala, and I’m just here to remind you, you got this. You can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors,“ Harris told Maya Rudolph, who was playing the vice president and had said she wished she could talk to someone ”who’s been in my shoes—a black, South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”
The regulator gives an example of a qualified candidate appearing on a station. In that scenario, the station “will be required to entertain requests for Equal Opportunities by opposing legally qualified candidates for the same office,” the FCC states. “However, the station is not required to seek out opposing legally qualified candidates and offer them Equal Opportunities.”
