*In his first network interview since clinching the presidency, President-elect Donald Trump sat down with NBC News’ Kristen Welker. The exclusive interview will air on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at 10:30am ET, offering viewers an in-depth look at Trump’s thoughts and plans following his election victory.
The interview took place on Friday, December. You can check out the interview highlights above and below. The full video interview and transcript will also be accessible on NBCNews.com this Sunday.
Kristen Welker last interviewed Trump for NBC News in September 2023, which became her debut on “Meet the Press.” That interview attracted significant attention, drawing 12 million views on YouTube and marking Trump’s only network interview during the 2024 campaign cycle.
“Meet the Press,” which has been performing remarkably well in ratings, was the number one Sunday public affairs show in the crucial A25-54 demographic last week, continuing its streak of success. The program has outperformed ABC’s “This Week” for six consecutive weeks and continues to dominate viewership among its peers.
Politico notes that Trump has been selective with his media appearances during the campaign, often favoring Fox News and alternative media platforms over mainstream outlets. His interviews have been less frequent, and as such, this upcoming “Meet the Press” appearance is highly anticipated.
Welker’s prior experience moderating the 2020 presidential debate between Trump and President Joe Biden has added a layer of complexity to their relationship. Although Trump criticized Welker ahead of that debate, he later commended her performance, making the dynamics of their interactions intriguing for viewers.
As Trump prepares to take office amid a politically charged environment, this interview promises to address key issues as well as his vision for the future.
For political analysts and the public alike, the exclusive sit-down with Krista Welker is expected to shed light on Trump’s policy plans and his perspective on the ongoing challenges facing the nation.
