Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
TV News Election Night Likely to Carry Over for Days and Days
variety.comBrian Steinberg Senior TV Editor For NBC News, Election Night starts before the sun goes down. Beginning at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5th, pairs of anchors ranging from Tom Llamas and Hallie Jackson to Savannah Guthrie and Lester Holt to Craig Melvin and Kate Snow will each staff a block of coverage of results from the 2024 presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
NBC will offer its stations 24 hours of coverage overall, and stream it as well, and will do so starting at a time that in the past might still have been reserved for local programming — and will potentially launch two hours ahead of its direct broadcast competitors. “We are going up earlier than we ever have on the network, and we are staying up continuously longer than we ever have on the network,” says Janelle Rodriguez, executive vice president of programming for NBC News.
Look for Guthrie to sign back on at 6 a.m. for an extra-long “Today” broadcast after co-anchoring primetime coverage the night before.
And while hard plans are in place to cover the election until 5 p.m. the following day, producers are ready “ for days of coverage, if need be,” Rodriguez adds.
