Trump unlikely to appear publicly until NASA expo on Friday following blue wave

President Donald Trump is expected to keep a low public profile for two days after Democrats made substantial gains in the midterm elections. White House officials say his first likely public appearance will be Friday at NASA’s inaugural MAX POWER Aerospace Expo in Florida, an event that reflects his administration’s focus on space and aerospace.

The expo runs from Friday to Sunday at and around Kennedy Space Center, with displays including NASA’s quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft, Moon rovers and spacecraft. Advisories suggest Trump may spend the rest of the weekend at Mar-a-Lago, while aides indicated he and senior deputies were unlikely to speak to the press before Friday. After watching election results, Trump criticised Republican candidates and media coverage, but told Fox News he wanted to work with some Democratic lawmakers.
