(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump will head to his home state of New York on Thursday to be honored at an annual awards show hosted by Fox Nation, an online streaming platform aligned with Fox News Channel.
The president-elect will receive the “Fox Patriot of the Year” award, he wrote on Truth Social, his social-media platform, adding “so nice! See you there.”
The Fox Nation Patriot Awards are described on their website as “celebrating American Patriotism by honoring everyday heroes across the country.”
Fox News commentator Sean Hannity — who will host the private event in Long Island — also announced on his program Tuesday night that Trump would be honored.
Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality who Trump selected to be his defense secretary, was originally scheduled to be the event’s host. His confirmation prospects are unclear now in light of sexual assault and workplace misconduct allegations he denies.
(Updates to add details on event in third paragraph. An earlier version corrected the host of the show.)
