Watch live: Trump to speak from Kennedy Space Center days after GOP midterm losses

President Trump is set to deliver remarks Friday at the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida, days after Republicans suffered sweeping losses in Tuesday's midterm elections .

He is participating in NASA's "Max Power" aerospace technology expo, which showcases advances in aviation, space exploration and emerging technologies. The appearance comes as the Trump administration pushes to return American astronauts to the moon by 2028, a key goal of the space agency's Artemis program .

The president signed a proclamation on Election Day declaring that the Earth's solar system and outer space "are open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence" by U.S. citizens.

His remarks also come hours after Trump announced he was replacing White House chief of staff Susie Wiles with longtime adviser Stephen Miller.

The event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. EST.
