Chuck Todd says he's leaving 'Meet the Press' and will be replaced by Kristen Welker.
NEW YORK — Chuck Todd said on Sunday that he'll be leaving "Meet the Press" after a tumultuous near-decade of moderating the NBC political panel show, to be replaced in the coming months by Kristen Welker.
"I leave feeling concerned about this moment in history but reassured by the standards we've set here," Todd said. "We didn't tolerate propagandists, and this network and program never will." Now Welker, 46, will be thrust into what promises to be another contentious presidential election cycle. Todd said that he was proud of expanding the "Meet the Press" brand to a daily show, which initially aired on MSNBC but was shifted to streaming, along with podcasts and newsletters, even a film festival.
