Donald Trump To Appear On Meet The Press In First Major TV Interview Since Winning Presidential Election
President-elect Donald Trump will Meet the Press in an exclusive sit-down interview with NBC's Kristen Welker this weekend, the network announced Wednesday.
The conversation, Trump's first network interview since winning the 2024 presidential election, will be recorded on Friday. Meet the Press airs Sunday at 10:30 am in New York and Washington, D.C.; check local listings elsewhere.
Welker and Trump have spoken before; her September 2023 interview with him was his only network chat of its type during his 2024 campaign.
In November, Republican presidential nominee/former President Trump defeated Democratic nominee/Vice President Kamala Harris, earning a return to the White House. With his victory, Trump became the first candidate to win the presidency in two non-consecutive terms in more than 130 years, since Grover Cleveland did it in 1892. Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 but lost to Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump, 78, also is the oldest man ever elected to the nation's highest office, breaking the record held by President Joe Biden. Trump is set to be officially sworn into office as the 47th President in January.
In recent weeks, Trump has made news by putting forth his picks for potential cabinet members. They include Dr. Mehmet Oz as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator, Sen. Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Rep. Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, Trump's defense attorney Todd Blanche for Deputy AG, Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, The Real World alum/former congressman Sean Duffy for Secretary of Transportation, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for Secretary of Homeland Security and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
