President-elect Donald Trump will be interviewed for CBS’ “60 Minutes” tomorrow in his first interview since winning Tuesday’s presidential election.

Lesley Stahl will conduct the interview from Trump’s Fifth Avenue home in New York City on Friday. She will also speak with the Trump family, including future First Lady Melania as well as children Ivanka, Tiffany, Eric and Donald Jr.

The interview will air on “60 Minutes” on Sunday.

Donald Trump’s surprise electoral-college victory over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has been met with protests in city streets across the country. The former secretary of state won the popular vote but that was not enough to declare victory.

Protesters gathered throughout the day on Wednesday in Chicago, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Portland chanting, “Not my president.”

Despite the protests, Trump met with President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday to discuss the transition, and he is scheduled to meet with House Speaker Paul Ryan later in the day.

“Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together,” Trump said in his victory speech on Wednesday. “To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.”
