  Welker had last interviewed the incoming president in September 2023
  and was a presidential debate moderator in the October 2020 debate
  between Trump and President Joe Biden.

  She had [5]an interview with Vice President-elect J.D. Vance on Oct. 27
  when he made the Sunday show rounds on CNN, CBS, and NBC.

  The NBC host revealed that she had received numerous texts from
  Democrats who were “panicked” about Vance’s CBS News Vice Presidential
  debate performance on Oct. 1 because they [6]worried about how
  “likeable” he was in the debate against Democratic vice presidential
  nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

  Trump and Vance reportedly sat down for at least 105 interviews between
  August and Election Day, doing a mix of traditional media outlets and
  influencer podcasters, including Joe Rogan.

  In the [7]Nov. 18 interview, Trump said he felt he has an obligation to
  work with the press even though some in the media have treated him
  “badly beyond comprehension.”

  “In order to Make America Great Again, it is very important, if not
  vital, to have a free, fair, and open media or press,” Trump said.

  MSNBC hosts of Morning Joe Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were
  widely criticized by Democrats for meeting with Trump in Palm Beach
  after the election. Trump said they had requested the meeting and it
  was “extremely cordial.” MSNBC has seen its [9]lowest ratings in two
  decades following the election.
