UPDATE for Dec 8 Richard Prince Journal-isms Roundtable: The CBS Interview of Trump Tomorrow
Politico adds:
The president-elect rarely participated in interviews with mainstream media outlets during the campaign, sticking to Fox News and nontraditional forms of media, including a range of podcasters.
Welker last sat down with Trump for her debut “Meet the Press” interview in September 2023, where he spoke about immigration, abortion and his then-Republican primary opponent Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Welker was criticized at the time for not fact-checking Trump during the interview.
Welker and Trump have a thorny history dating back to when Welker moderated a 2020 presidential election debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. Trump attacked Welker prior to the debate, calling her a biased anchor, but he later praised her conduct during the debate.
