The social media platform, which has been pushing toward video content, is partnering with cable network NewsNation and will air the events on both outlets, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Its unnamed source said a date for the event had not been finalised.

The Journal reported that X also plans to host a similar town hall event with rival presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jnr

X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The plan would bring Trump back to Musk’s platform, where he was previously an influential and active user before his account was banned following his supporters’ attack on Congress on January 6, 2021.

Musk reinstated the account in late 2022 after he took control of Twitter, but Trump has only posted once since then.
