2 Months After Walking Out of Her Interview, Trump to Report NBC’s Kristen Welker to the FCC For ‘Purposeful Inaccuracy’

In June 2026, Donald Trump walked out of a Meet the Press interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker after she repeatedly emphasized that there was no evidence that the 2020 elections were rigged to favor the Democrats. Trump opposed Welker’s position and added to his ongoing narrative by suggesting that the Democrats were rigging the California primaries as well.

Before leaving, Trump didn’t forget to express his feelings about Welker and NBC. He said, “You are crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. You one-sided crooked networks.” He then ended the interview.

Almost three months later, Trump is once again raising questions about Welker’s journalistic ethics in a new Truth Social post. Trump wrote, “Kristen Welker, the Unpopular “Hostess” of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has “mixed results” on his Endorsements of Candidates, when the recent WINS of Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei, stand at 100% for the U.S. Senate, and 98% for the U.S. House, recently and over the longterm.”

The facts behind the claims. Have Trump’s endorsements really worked?

Then Trump alleged that he would seek action against Welker. He said, “How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves? Results are attached. Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.” Trump also stressed that Welkner isn’t “the only one” and that “the Radical Left News is going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything “TRUMP,” an allegation he has made earlier as well.

According to Ballot Pedia, Trump has a 96 percent success rate across 313 primary endorsements. Consequently, he has a 0 percent success rate in general election endorsements. Returning to Trump’s Truth Social post, he shared an image showing his endorsement record in Republican primaries.

The image suggested that 239 of 243 Trump-endorsed candidates won in the U.S. House and Senate, implying a 98.35 percent success rate. In a breakdown denoting individual success rates, Trump’s image showed that 215 of the 219 candidates he endorsed had won primaries for the U.S. House, while 24 out of 24 had won the primaries for the U.S. Senate.

It’s important to acknowledge that, although close, Trump’s numbers aren’t exactly the same as Ballot Pedia’s, which is considered an impartial, credible source in this regard.
