Trump Demands FCC Action Against NBC Journalist Over Endorsement Coverage
US President Donald Trump criticized NBC journalist Kristen Welker for describing his endorsements in Republican primaries as having "mixed results," demanding the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) take action against her. Trump claimed his endorsements had a 98 to 100 percent success rate, citing recent wins by candidates like Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei. Welker made the comment during a local NBC affiliate segment, not the main "Meet the Press" program. NBC defended Welker, while Trump urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr, an ally, to address what he called a threat to the country.
