Heads up: PBO in Seattle

5:15 ET The President delivers remarks at a campaign event at the Paramount Theater, Seattle

CNN live streaming

CBS live streaming

I’m confused about the time of this, the WH site says 5:15 ET, but other places say 6:0, and the CBS link says 6:15 😕

So, this might be a very early heads up.

Any more links?
