Donald Trump has been a vocal critic of the mainstream news in recent years. That won’t stop him from appearing on NBC News’ Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday.
Welker will interview Donald Trump on Friday and air the conversation during Meet the Press on Sunday. It will mark the first interview the President-elect has given a network news organization since he bested Democratic nominee Kamala Harris last month.
Kristen Welker previously interviewed Donald Trump in September of last year. It was the only time he sat down for an interview with a network news organization for the duration of the 2024 election cycle. That discussion featured 12 million views on YouTube.
There will be plenty of topics of conversation for Trump, who will become just the second American President to return to the White House for non-consecutive terms. The nominations he has made for his potential cabinet have, at times, been controversial in nature, with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) removing himself for consideration as Attorney General. Meanwhile, Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, continues to see support dwindle after reports of his mistreatment of women and issues with alcohol have surfaced in recent days.
Highlights from the interview will be released before the conversation airs on Sunday. NBC News, NBC News NOW, and NBCNews.com will all have video clips from Trump featured prominently before the full interview airs on Sunday at 10:30 AM ET.
