Meet the Press Makes Big Announcement
Chuck Todd Steps Down, Kristen Welker Takes Over
In a shakeup of the Sunday show landscape, Chuck Todd has announced that he will step down as the host and moderator of Meet the Press. Kristen Welker will take over the role, making history as the first woman and first African American to moderate the long-running show.
Todd's departure marks the end of an era for Meet the Press, which he has hosted since 2014. During his tenure, he has interviewed countless newsmakers and political figures, and has moderated several presidential debates.
Welker, who currently serves as NBC News' White House correspondent, is a respected and experienced journalist. She has covered the White House for both the Obama and Trump administrations, and has moderated several presidential debates.
Her appointment to Meet the Press is a significant milestone for the show and for journalism. It is a sign that the media landscape is changing, and that women and people of color are increasingly taking on leadership roles.
