Exciting news for fans of Meet the Press! Chuck Todd, who has been the show’s moderator since 2014, has announced that he will be stepping down in September. But fear not, because he will be succeeded by none other than Kristen Welker, who has been with NBC News since 2010 and is currently the chief White House correspondent. Todd said that he’s “really proud of what this team and I have built over the last decade,” and that he plans to work on projects at NBC that focus on bridging divides and piercing political troubles. Meanwhile, Welker is more than ready to take on the role of moderator, having co-anchored major election night programming with Todd since 2021 and moderated the second and final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in 2020. Meet the Press is the longest running TV show, and with its mix of newsmakers and pundits, it’s one of the highest profile broadcast TV assignments. We can’t wait to see what Welker brings to the table as the new moderator!
