Three experienced moderators will lead Wednesday’s meeting in Miami of the remaining Republican presidential candidates, although former President Donald J. Trump will again be absent. Lester Holt and Kristen Welker, two lead anchors at NBC News, which is overseeing the debate’s production and editorial process, will serve alongside Hugh Hewitt, a conservative radio host who works for a co-sponsor of the debate, Salem Media Group. Mr. Holt, the anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” was the sole moderator of Mr. Trump’s first general-election debate with Hillary Clinton, in September 2016. Mr. Holt took a minimalist approach that evening, sometimes allowing the candidates to argue between themselves, although his lack of interruption granted viewers an unfiltered view of the candidates’ rhetorical styles. Ms. Welker, the host of “Meet the Press,” was the sole moderator of Mr. Trump’s final debate against Joseph R. Biden Jr., in October 2020.

Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., is launching a new ad for his presidential campaign by saying it's time for President Joe Biden to "hand the torch" to the next generation. "I celebrate Joe Biden. I love Joe Biden," Phillips later says in the ad. Biden's campaign, its affiliate groups and the pro-Biden super PAC Future Forward USA have already spent nearly $40 million million on ads, according to AdImpact.

"She's a private person, a great person, a very confident person, and she loves our country very much," Trump said.

The wife of Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., has received anonymous, threatening text messages this week pressuring her to persuade her husband to support Jordan. Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., said his staffers have been "cussed out" in phone calls from Jordan supporters. But the bloc of roughly 20 anti-Jordan Republicans say that they aren't caving and that the hardball tactics are backfiring.

Donald Trump pointed to the rising cost of bacon as evidence for inflation. "Bacon is up five times… food is up horribly, worse than energy," he told NBC Sunday. Sliced bacon prices have actually only risen by about 12% since Trump left office. "Bacon is up five times… food is up horribly, worse than energy," he added.

CNN —The Kristen Welker era of “Meet the Press” is off to a bleak start. Unfortunately, Welker failed spectacularly to meet the moment during her interview with Trump. Welker allowed Trump to make a number of statements wholly untethered to reality on a range of critical issues without tenacious, resolute, or meaningful pushback. It’s arguable that, at this juncture, there is really no need to interview Trump. If it is necessary to interview Trump, newsrooms need to approach the task differently than they would any other interview.

Former President Donald Trump speaks during an interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker, Sept. 14, 2023. NBC News has also extended an invitation to President Joe Biden to sit down with Welker for an interview. "I said, 'Other than certain parts of the country, you can't — you're not going to win on this issue. "And both sides are going to come together and both sides — both sides, and this is a big statement — both sides will come together. But when Welker asked if he might grant himself a reprieve if he wins this election, Trump declined to rule it out.

Former President Donald J. Trump, whose Supreme Court appointments led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, harshly criticized his top rival in the Republican presidential primary, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, for a six-week abortion ban that he called a “terrible thing.”Mr. Trump issued his broadside — which could turn off socially conservative Republican primary voters, especially in Iowa, where evangelicals are a crucial voting bloc — during an interview with the new host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Kristen Welker, that was broadcast on Sunday morning. Asked whether Mr. DeSantis went too far by signing a six-week abortion ban, Mr. Trump replied: “I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.”Since announcing his candidacy last November — just a week after Republicans underperformed expectations in midterm elections shaped by a backlash against the overturning of the abortion ruling — there has been no policy issue on which Mr. Trump has appeared more uncomfortable than on abortion.

"I don't even think about it," Trump, who has been indicted four times this year, said when asked if he worries about prison at night. NBC News has also extended an invitation to President Joe Biden to sit down with Welker for an interview. "First of all, I had very little to do with Jan. 6," Trump said. The officer didn't say that "because of riots," Trump said, alluding to the threat to a president. Welker asked Trump to confirm he was disputing Hutchinson's account.

In the interview, taped Thursday at Trump's golf club in New Jersey, Trump refused to say who he called as the violence unfolded. Trump is facing federal criminal charges for his efforts to overturn his loss in that election but he is not facing charges related to the insurrection. Trump said Tarrio was treated “horribly," according to a full transcript of the NBC interview, which included parts that were not aired. The NBC appearance was Trump's first broadcast network interview since leaving office and marked Welker's debut show as host. The U.S. Supreme Court, with the support of three justices appointed by Trump, last year overturned the federal right to an abortion.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker that aired Sunday on “Meet the Press” continued to make false claims around a variety of subjects including the 2020 election and the January 6 insurrection. The speaker of the House is not in charge of Capitol security. That’s the responsibility of the Capitol Police Board, which oversees the US Capitol Police and approves requests for National Guard assistance. The election was not rigged, and there is no evidence of any fraud large enough to have changed the outcome. Officials from the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security, along with state election officials, said in a statement after the 2020 election: “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.”This story will updated with additional fact checks.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump said that he received counsel from numerous people shortly after the 2020 election but that it was his decision to push the false claim he won the presidency and try to overturn the results. “It was my decision, but I listened to some people,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview that aired Sunday. Trump has been indicted over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results. I respected many others that said the election was rigged.”Smith’s federal election interference investigation is one of four criminal cases against the former president. Trump was also charged in a sweeping Georgia indictment accusing him of being the head of a “criminal enterprise” to overturn the 2020 election.

"The autoworkers will not have any jobs, Kristen, because all of these cars are going to be made in China. The electric cars, automatically, are going to be made in China," Trump told NBC News' Kristen Welker in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview set to air Sunday on "Meet the Press." "The autoworkers are being sold down the river by their leadership, and their leadership should endorse Trump," added the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. The strike marked the first time the United Auto Workers union targeted the three automaker titans simultaneously.
