NPR’s Michel Martin and Rachel Martin will co-host live special coverage from NPR’s Washington Studios from 11am until 2pm ET. They will be joined by NPR reporters to provide a front row seat to the historic events and provide essential context: Scott Detrow, Ayesha Rascoe, Juana Summers, Claudia Grisales, Susan Davis, Don Gonyea, Miles Parks, Tom Bowman, Mara Liasson, Ron Elving and more. For the first time, the Live Special Coverage broadcast will also be live streamed on video on NPR.org and social media platforms.

“This live stream is going to really set our coverage apart. Listeners know the great context and analysis they can expect from NPR. Now they’ll be able to see it play out in realtime and get an inside look at how our hosts and reporters bring that coverage to life,” said Eric Marrapodi NPR’s Live Specials Lead.
