Warm-up act for Sunday's Journal-isms Roundtable: Trump interview With Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press"

https://nbcuniversalnewsgroup.com/nbcnews/2024/12/04/president-elect-donald-trump-to-sit-down-with-nbc-news-kristen-welker-in-first-network-interview-since-the-election/

The post-election Journal-isms Roundtable begins at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday and is to be simulcast on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/RPjournalisms/

See participants here: https://www.journal-isms.com/journal-isms-roundtable/

Politico adds:

The president-elect rarely participated in interviews with mainstream media outlets during the campaign, sticking to Fox News and nontraditional forms of media, including a range of podcasters.

Welker last sat down with Trump for her debut “Meet the Press” interview in September 2023, where he spoke about immigration, abortion and his then-Republican primary opponent Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Welker was criticized at the time for not fact-checking Trump during the interview.

Welker and Trump have a thorny history dating back to when Welker moderated a 2020 presidential election debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. Trump attacked Welker prior to the debate, calling her a biased anchor, but he later praised her conduct during the debate.
