President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday.

Trump has not visited Florida since the 2026 midterm elections. He arrived in the state for his third trip in two weeks after holding pre-election rallies in Fort Myers and Daytona Beach.

The address will take place at the Up Summit, an event that began in 2017. The organization describes itself as an invitation-only gathering for leaders of companies focused on transporting people and goods. Their stated goal is transforming the moving world.

Trump's visit overlaps with NASA's inaugural MAX Power technology expo and airshow. This combination of events draws attention to Central Florida's role in both aerospace and commercial mobility sectors.

Local media outlets plan to stream the president's afternoon remarks. FOX 35 intends to provide a live feed through its FOX Local app and website if a signal becomes available.

Friday's event marks the first time the president has appeared in the state since the midterm vote. It serves as a public stop during a busy week of political and technological activities in the region.
